PLACEMENT CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

Location of doors and windows on all floors of the home in relation to the fireplace and chimney must be considered and be in compli-
ance with applicable codes, if any.
This fireplace must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the fireplace and venting.
Fireplace must be placed directly on wood or non-combustible surface (not linoleum or carpet) extending the entire depth and width of
fireplace.
IMPORTANT: Combustible flooring 16" (406 mm) in front of and 8" (203 mm) to each side of the fuel opening must be insulated with non-
combustible floor protection with a minimum insulation R-value of 0.8.
Manufactured hearth materials will usually have a published R value (resistance to heat) or k value (conductivity of heat).
Use the following formula to convert a k value to an R value.
R = 1/k x inches of thickness.
Metal sealing strips must be used under fireplace and hearth extension.
The height of the enclosure must be a minimum of 72" (1.83 m). This measurement is from the fireplace bottom to the inside top of
enclosure.
Due to high surface temperatures, fireplace should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
Please be aware of the large amount of heat this fireplace will produce when determining a location.
