3. CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

To ensure a safe installation into a masonry or
factory-built fireplace, these minimum clearances
must be met:
(A) Minimum of 17" from the stove top to the
bottom of a combustible mantle.
(B) Minimum of 7-1/2" from the side wall of the
stove to any combustibles.
(C) Minimum of 16" of floor protection in front of
the stove of 3/8" asbestos millboard, or equivalent,
for masonry fireplace.
(D) Minimum of 22" of floor protection in front of
the stove of 3/8" asbestos millboard, or equivalent,
for factory-built fireplace.

4. PREPARATION

To facilitate the installation of your 4N1-XL stove,
follow theses steps before attempting to place the
stove in a fireplace.
(A) Clear the area around the fireplace of furniture,
rugs, etc., to allow easy access.
(B) Place drop cloths or other protective materials on
the floor and hearth to protect against possible
damage.
(C) Remove ashes and thoroughly clean the firebox
floor.
(D) Remove the damper plate, if possible, or block it
open using non-combustible materials, such as brick
or rock.
(E) Inspect the interior of the firebox and flue for
possible deterioration of mortar joints, loose bricks,
and excessive creosote buildup.
NOTE: If the flue is dirty, clean it before installing
the stove. If deteriorated, repair or reline the chimney.

5. MOUNTING THE TRIM PANELS

(A) Mount the top trim panel.
(B) Mount the side trim panels with the mounting
screws provided. (FIGURE 3)
