STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION OF THE FIREPLACE SYSTEM
BEFORE STARTING, DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION.
2. KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION. SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND
MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE SECURE.
3. ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE
TO PREVENT FIRE.
STEP 1 - Positioning the Fireplace.
This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible
or non-combustible continuous surface. Follow the
instructions for framing on page 9. Be sure to pro-
vide the minimum 3/4" air clearance at the sides
and back of the firebox assembly.
STEP 2 - Placing the Protective Metal Hearth Strips.
Included with your fireplace you will find a metal hearth
strip measuring approximately 49" x 4". This strip is
used to provide added protection where the fireplace
and hearth extension meet.
Slide the metal strip two inches under the front edge
of the fireplace. If a two piece strip is provided, the
individual pieces must overlap each other by one
inch in the middle of the fireplace to provide continu-
ous coverage of the floor. See Figure 10. These
metal strips should extend from the front and sides of
the fireplace by 2".
STEP 3 - Leveling the Fireplace.
Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back.
Shim with non-combustible material, such as sheet
metal, as necessary.
Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors,
check the firebox opening for squareness. Measure
diagonal distances of the opening to make sure they
are equal. If they do not equal, continue to shim the
firebox until those diagonals correspond.
Secure the fireplace by utilizing the nailing flanges
located on either side of the fireplace to the vertical
framing.
