PRECAUTIONS

Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult
to install. However, in the interest of safety, it
is recommended that the installer be a quali-
fied or certified "tradesman" familiar with com-
monly accepted fireplace installation and safety
techniques as well as prevailing local codes.
The most important areas of concern dealing
with the installation of factory-built fireplaces
are clearances to combustible materials, proper
assembly of component parts, height of the
chimney system, the proper use of accesso-
ries supplied by the manufacturer and the
techniques employed in using finishing mate-
rials applied to the wall surrounding the fire-
place, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each
of these topics will be covered in thorough
detail throughout this manual. Please give
each your special attention as you progress
with your installation.
IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING IN CANADA,
THE CHIMNEY AIR KIT MUST BE INSTALLED
PER THE WARNOCK HERSEY INC. LISTING.
IMPORTANT: THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE TO
COMBUSTIBLES FOR THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM
IS 2" (51 MM).

CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace may be placed on or near normal
construction materials*. The combustion air
kit, firestop spacer and roof flashings (not chase
flashings) may be placed directly on or against
normal construction materials*. The chimney
requires a minimum 2" (51 mm) air space to
combustibles. A combustible mantle may be
installed a minimum of 12" (305 mm) above the
opening of the fireplace as per NFPA 211, Sec-
tion 7-2.3.3. In Canada the minimum is 24" (610
mm) above the opening.
The fireplace and chimney system must be
enclosed when installed in or passing through
a living area where combustibles or people may
come in contact with it. This is important to
prevent possible personal injury or fire hazard.
For questions, please call your distributor or the
manufacturer. Special restrictions apply to the
front and facing of the fireplace and nearby
walls (See pages 16 and 17 ).
