8. Fireplace Installation
8.1
Standoff Installation
Before installing the fireplace, it is mandatory to install the standoffs on the top (L) and the
back (N) of the fireplace. The standoffs can be found in the fireplace firebox and and the screws
(M) to install them can be found in the fireplace manual.
8.2
Optional Carrying Handles
To facilitate the transport of the fireplace, handles sold as an option
may be used. They are installed on each side of the fireplace. Wearing
gloves is strongly recommended when moving the fireplace.
8.3
Location
The best location for the fireplace should consider the location of windows, doors, and circulation
in the room. There must be enough space in front of the fireplace for the hearth extension and
mantel and on the sides or back for the different heat distribution system, for the fresh air intake
and for the chimney. Ideally, the chimney must be able to pass through the house without the
need to cut floor joists or roof trusses.
8.4
Clearances to Combustibles
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set
out in safety standards ULC S610 (Canada) and UL127 (U.S.A.). When the fireplace is installed
so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces
will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
