If however, the fireplace is to be trimmed with a heavy stone or brick facing and hearth extension, be sure the supporting structure is adequate. -
Page 8: Installation Preparation
NSTALLATION REPARATION Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc., that might complicate the installation or endanger persons installing or cleaning the chimney. Avoid a location where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building as shown by Figure 8. - Page 9 NSTALLATION REPARATION IGURE SINGLE STORY INSTALLATION WITH SINGLE STORY INSTALLATION WITH ATTIC SPACE ATTIC SPACE LC CHIMNEY CAP LC CHIMNEY CAP FLUE OUTLET HEIGHT FLUE OUTLET HEIGHT STORM COLLAR STORM COLLAR 3 FT.

Page 10: Floor Protection
LOOR ROTECTION If this fireplace is installed on a combustible floor, the floor area 20 inches in front of, and 12 inches either side of the fireplace opening must be protected by an insulating noncombustible hearth extension. This hearth extension may be either minimum 6-inch thick stone or brick as shown by Figure 10, a H2074 hearth exten- sion kit or a locally constructed hearth equivalent to the H2074. - Page 11 LOOR ROTECTION The ability of insulating material to retard the transfer of heat may be expressed as either Thermal Conduc- tance (C), Thermal Conductivity (K), or Thermal Resistance (R). The mathematical relationship of these values and the formulas for converting one value to another is as follows: C=K divided by the material thickness2 IGURE (Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50)

Page 24: Gas Appliance Installation
PPLIANCE NSTALLATION Improper installation or operation of a gas appliance in this fireplace can allow unburned gas to leak ARNING out which will cause a fire or explosion hazard, or the release of poisonous carbon monoxide into the dwelling which can cause serious injury or death to its inhabitants. To reduce these risks to a minimum, the following important notices and instructions should be read and followed carefully. - Page 25 PPLIANCE NSTALLATION 7. Pack the insulation removed in step 4 around the pipe to prevent air flowing through the tube either into or out of the firebox. 8. Be sure the gas is turned off at the appliance, then turn the gas on at the cut off valve and test the gas line connections for leaks with soapy water solution or a liquid leak detector.

IREPLACE PERATION : If a decorative gas appliance is used in the fireplace the fireplace damper must be fixed in an open ARNING position. (See additional operation information in section titled “Operation Guidelines”.) DVANTAGES OF A URNING IREPLACE These are the practical, ecological advantages of wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. - Page 28 IREPLACE PERATION You’ll need a minimum of three logs, preferably four, to make a good fire. Add kindling and new logs as needed to rekindle a dying fire. New logs should be added at the rear grate after raking the coals toward the front. D .

Page 29: Maintenance And Safety
Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Monessen Hearth Systems does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace. - Page 30 AINTENANCE AND AFETY IREPLACE AINTENANCE At the end of each heating season or when the fireplace will not be in use for an extended time, the ashes should be removed and the hearth area should be swept as clean as is practical. The slow absorption of moisture into the ashes over a long period of time could cause a condition which would be corrosive to the metal fireplace parts.
- Page 31 25. Don’t use the fireplace or chimney for venting wood or coal burning heaters or inserts unless approved in writing by Monessen Hearth Systems. 26. Don’t poke or stir the logs while they are burning. Use only firelogs that have been evaluated for the applica- tion in fireplace and refer to firelog warnings and caution markings on packaging prior to use.
