Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is sensitive to heat. Hearth and Home
Technologies does not recommend adhesive based vinyl
flooring due to thermal expansion. Floating-style flooring
can be used, but will reach temperatures up to 110 °F in a
room with ambient temperature of 70 °F. Consult flooring
specifications to ensure compatibility.
WARNING! Risk of Overheating! DO NOT install com-
bustible or non-combustible flooring or hearth material
above top of bottom surround. Air flow must be main-
tained.
•
Flooring and hearth material is allowed up to, but not
above, the top of the bottom surround in order to allow
for proper air flow from appliance. See Figure 3.15.
