Caution: While a hearth extension is not required and combustible ooring
materials may be brought directly up to the replace, many materials (such as
wood ooring) may not tolerate the radiant heat from this replace, resulting
in discoloration, shrinking and cracking. For this reason, we suggest a non-
combustible hearth that is no more than 1" above the bottom of the replace.
If thicker, replace must be raised accordingly.
Caution: Hearth extensions thicker than 1" will interfere with the safety screen
and window frame when opening.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE
BUILDING MATERIAL MAY NOT
EXTEND PAST THIS POINT
