Floor Support And Protection; Recess Construction - kozy heat CALLAWAY 50 Installation And Operation Manual

3.5 Floor Support and Protection

• Floor protection in front of the fireplace is not required.
Combustible material may be used if installing a hearth
extension. Consider the thickness of the hearth extension
finishing material if building a fireplace platform. The bottom
of the fireplace must be level with finished hearth extension for
proper fit of the safety barrier.
• If this appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile,
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, this
appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the appliance.
• If the appliance is to be installed above floor level, a solid,
continuous platform must be constructed below the appliance.

3.6 Recess Construction

WARNING: All clearances to venting must be maintained.
Mounting a television above a fireplace has become a common
practice. Television surface temperatures are affected by mantel
depth, ceiling heights, and wall and mantel construction material.
Most television manufacturers specify in their instructions that a
television should not be installed on, near, or above a heat source.
Television location rests solely on the homeowner. It is the home
owner's responsibility that the preferred TV mounting and mantel
design will not exceed the listed maximum operation temperature of
their electronic goods.
Figure 3.4 shows the minimum dimensions for the fireplace. Anything
above the minimum enclosure height of 48" (1219mm) can be
capped off or recessed.
