Solid fuel (Non-combustible) fireplaces
As supplied, this appliance can be installed as an inset in an existing solid fuel type fireplace with a chimney and 3" dia liner (see
fig.1a).
The fireplace must be built in accordance with the national, state provincial or territorial building code recognized by the
authority having jurisdiction, or in the absence of such a code, in accordance with the National Building Code of Canada or the
National Fire Protection Association code in the USA The size of the fireplace recess must be sufficient to accommodate the

The chimney must be swept and both chimney and fireplace checked for soundness before installation of the appliance. The liner
must be a type approved by the enforcing authority and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The appliance must be installed on a non-combustible floor. The floor must be sufficiently flat and level to support the appliance
satisfactorily. Some fireplace constructions have a well in the floor at the back that may need to be filled in. In the USA it is
mandatory that a hard surfaced non-combustible hearth area must be maintained at least 16" in front of the fireplace. This may be
finished in brick, ceramic tile, marble

In Canada, though not mandatory, we recommend that carpet, soft vinyl or other combustible floor coverings are kept at least 16"
from the front of the furnace since these types of materials may be affected by the high radiant heat output from this appliance.

clearances apply for all installations.

at least 16" from the front of the furnace since these types of materials may be affected by the high radiant heat output from this
appliance.
