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
In the case where there is no hearth, the bottom of the
appliance must be raised at least 4" inches above any
exposed combustible fl oor in front.
With hearth
• The bottom of the appliance must be installed level
with the top of the hearth surface in most cases other
than with the 4-sided trim 1440 which hangs 1-1/2"
below the bottom of the appliance.
• Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed in
front of the appliance if within 4" vertically of the bot-
tom of the appliance.
• The non-combustible hearth in front of the appliance,
if within 4" of the bottom of the appliance, must in-
clude the 1/2" Micore insulation board provided to be
used as thermal break between non-combustible and
combustible material underneath.
