SAFETY WARNING! The H6 is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/fl oor in front of the heater
can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/fl oor and using the
screen front will greatly reduce hearth temperatures. Any hearth within 4 inches of the base of the
heater must be constructed of non-combustible materials and utilise the insulation board supplied as
a thermal break between the non-combustible hearth fi nish and the combustible construction below
(see diagrams in the following pages). Note that some materials, although safe can degrade due to
heat—take this into consideration when choosing materials.
Top of Finished Hearth
Must Be Flush With
Bottom of Heater to
accommodate most
optional mantels and
trims. The 1440 Four-
Sided trim extends 1-1/2"
below the bottom of the
appliance. See Option
section at the beginning
of this manual for optional
accessories.
NOTE: Unit will need to
be raised above plywood
sub-fl oor in most cases
due to combustible
hearth/fl oor restrictions.
Any shims used under-
neath to raise the heater
should be setback 1/2"
behind front face of
framing otherwise top
face of shims may be
visible.
