Cold Climate Insulation - Lennox ELDV-45NE Installation Instructions Manual

A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control compartment door. Any hearth
extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.
Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance
front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front face. See
Figure 42 on page 24.
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance front face with this exceptions: they must
not cover any portion of the glass.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 43 . Mantels constructed of non-
combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the hood.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible material and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is
especially important to insulate outside chase cavity between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. In cold climates, if the fireplace is being installed on a cement
slab, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to sheetrock
inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
