Hearth considerations
You need to know whether there will be a hearth or
not in front of the appliance and some rules must be
considered:
Without hearth (up the wall)
In the case where there is no hearth, the bottom
of the appliance must be raised at least 4" inches
above any combustible fl oor in front.
With hearth
•
Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed
in front of the appliance if within 4" vertically
of the bottom of the appliance. See Hearth
Requirements section of this manual.
•
The non-combustible hearth in front of the
appliance, if within 4" of the bottom of the
appliance, must include the 1/2" Micore insulation
board provided to be used as thermal break
between non-combustible and combustible
material underneath.
