These options may be incorporated with one another. If the
optional blowers are to be installed, make provision dur-
ing framing to route a 110 volt power line to the fireplace.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
venting kit.

LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
The fireplace must be installed against finished walls.
Do not install against a vapour barrier or exposed insu-
lation.
While the fireplace can be installed directly on the floor, a
non-combustible hearth extension is required in front of
the fireplace, that must not be built higher than the bottom
of the fireplace to avoid air flow blockage. It may therefore
be advisable to build the fireplace on a raised platform.
The minimum distance between the edge of the fireplace
and any adjacent wall, at right angles to it, is 21 inches. A
wall projecting at 45° from the outer edge of the fireplace is
allowed; projections into this area are permitted. Do not
install into any area having a height less than 6 feet (ceil-
ing to fireplace bottom, excluding hearth height).
See Section on Framing.The location of windows, doors
and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be
located should be considered. If possible, you should
choose a location where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES:
0" - FIREPLACE STAND-OFFS (TOP, REAR, & SIDES)
2" - CHIMNEY
1" - HOT AIR GRAVITY DUCTWORK
SEE 'FRAMING' SECTION:
top of unit to ceiling: 32½" - TOP-VENTED ENCLOSURE
Clearance from combustibles to furnace hot air duct
work as specified by the furnace manufacturer is satis-
factory. No additional clearances are required.
Do not pack air space, created between the stand-offs
and combustibles, with insulation or any other mate-
rial.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

The fireplace should be framed using 2x4 lumber as shown
in Figure 5. The fireplace should be secured to the floor.
Use the pallet packing brackets to accomplish this. If
ducting is to be installed, the minimum enclosure ceiling
height is 7 feet. Without ducting, the ceiling height may be
brought down to a minimum of 6 feet. However a fireplace
enclosure with a height less than 7 feet must be provided
with sufficient air circulation to avoid a fire hazard. Install
ventilation grilles (minimum openings of 40 sq. inches) at
both floor and ceiling levels of the enclosure. These grilles
must not restrict the flow of heat by more than 25%.
