ODYSSEY SERIES FIREPLACE WITH GAS LOG SET
F. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION OF FIREPLACE SYSTEM
1. Position the Fireplace
This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or
noncombustible continuous surface. Follow the
instructions for framing on pages 9-12.
2. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips
Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth
strips measuring approximately 4” x 26”. These strips
are used to provide added protection where the fireplace
and hearth extension meet.
Slide the metal strips two inches under the front edge of
the fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each
other by one inch in the middle of the fireplace to provide
continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 10. These
metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the
fireplace opening by 2”.
3. Level the Fireplace
Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim
with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as
necessary.
: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors, check
the fireplace opening to ensure it is square. Measure
diagonal distances of the opening to make sure they are
equal. If they do not equal, continue to shim the fireplace
until those diagonals correspond.
Secure the fireplace by utilizing the nailing flanges located
on either side of the fireplace to the vertical framing.
