PRECAUTIONS
Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult
to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is
recommended that the installer be a qualified or
certified "tradesman" familiar with commonly
accepted fireplace installation and safety tech-
niques 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 accessories
supplied by the manufacturer and the tech-
niques employed in using finishing materials
applied to the wall surrounding the fireplace,
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.
