COLD
CLIMATE INSTALLATION
If you live in
a cold climate,
it is
especially important to
seal all cracks around fireplace with non-combustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the
room.
Surround material
must
be caulked
where it meets
the
black metal facing of the fireplace to avoid cold air
intrusion. Use only non-combustible caulking material
on fireplace facing to seal.
In areas of extreme cold, it
is
recommended that
the
outer wall of the chase
be
insulated. This will reduce
the
possibility of cold air convection currents
on
the fire-
place. NEVER use blown-in
type of
insulation
as this
could
plug the holes at the base of the unit and interlere
with
the thermal syphoning action necessary to
keep
the
chimney cool.
FINISHING THE
FIREPLACE
FIREPLACE FACING
When selecting the finish material for
your
fireplace,
it
is
important to remember the following:
THE BLACK
FACE OF THE FIREPLACE MUST NOT BE COVERED
WlTH ANY TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
Non-combustible facing material
such as
tile, brick,
glass, etc. may overlap the black face of the fireplace.
Be sure to use non-combustible heat resistant mortar or
adhesive when attaching to fireplace face. The face of
the fireplace may be painted
to
match the mom decor
provided you use a heat resistant paint.
NOTE: DECORATIVE FACING MUST NOT EXTEND
INTO THE FIREPLACE OPENING AT ALL, BECAUSE
IT WlLL INTERFERE WlTH
THE
OPERATION OF THE
GLASS DOORS. THE GLASS DOOR MOUNTS OVER
M E FACING MATERIAL. THE MOUNTING HARD-
WARE PROVIDED WILL ALLOW INSTALLATION TO
FACING MATERIAL OF
O"
TO 5 IN
WIDTH.
