INTRODUCTION
Model PN-36 series us a wood-burning fireplace intended
and approved for installation in either residential homes or
buildings of standard construction.
This model is not for use in mobile homes.
This fireplace system requires the utilization of an FMI 10”
double-wall, snap-lock flue pipe system.
GLASS DOORS are standard with this fireplace and come
in different styles (see parts list on last page).
BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODES FOR AREA REQUIREMENTS BEFORE
INSTALLING THIS FIREPLACE.
The model’s serial number and any other specific rating information may be found on the unit in the UL RATING
PLATE located at the interior of the fireplace’s opening (See
figure 1)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Before beginning the installation of your fireplace; read these
instructions through completely.
This FMI fireplace and its approved components are safe
when installed according to this installation manual and operated as recommended by FMI. Unless your use FMI approved
components tested for this fireplace, YOU MAY CAUSE A
FIRE HAZARD!
The FMI warranty will be voided by, and FMI disclaims any
responsibility for the following actions:
A) Modification of the fireplace or any of the components
manufactured by FMI unless otherwise permitted by FMI.
B) The use of a fireplace insert or any other component part
not approved by FMI in combination with an FMI fireplace.
C) Installation and/or operation in a manner other than instructed in this manual.
D) The burning of any other fuel not tested or approved by
FMI in this wood-burning fireplace.
PROPER INSTALLATION is the most important step in ensuring a safe and continuous operation of this fireplace.
Although grounding may not be required by code in your
area, it must be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
This fireplace is intended for installation in accordance with
the National Fire Protection Association Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid-Fuel Burning Fireplaces, NFPA 211, and in accordance with codes such as the
BOCA Basic/National Code, the Standard Mechanical
Code, and the Uniform Building Code.
This wood burning fireplace complies with UL 127 as a
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE and is listed and tested
by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified
installer. The fireplace and chimney system should be inspected and cleaned before use and periodically thereafter
especially during heating season to ensure a safe operating
system.
THIS FIREPLACE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED
AS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF HEAT.
SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your
fireplace, you must take into consideration the following
guidelines:
1. The location must allow for all the proper clearances (see
section on clearances).
2. Consider a location where the heat output would not be
affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters
will make installation easier.
4. If an outside air kit is to be installed, accessibility to outside
combustion air must be considered. This can also be achieved
through a vented crawl space in some cases, for more details
refer to section on outside air kit installation.
Figure 2
The typical installation for a peninsula is a projected installation, which allows you to extend the fireplace any distance
into the room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on
an existing, finished wall.

ALSO IN SELECTING A LOCATION, THE
FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
OBSERVED:
1. Do not connect this fireplace to a chimney system
other than an FMI chimney system.
2. Install in an area providing ventilation and
adequate combustion air.
3. Due to high temperatures do not locate this
fireplace in high traffic areas or near furniture and
draperies.
4. Provide adequate clearances around air openings
into the combustion chamber. NEVER obstruct the
front opening of the fireplace or the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
5. Do not locate in or near an area where gasoline or
other flammable liquids may be stored. The fireplace
area must be kept clear and free from these
combustible materials.
CLEARANCES
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES ARE:
BACK.................................................... ...1/2” MIN.
*
*ADJACENT WALL.......................................12” MIN.
*CHIMNEY OUTER PIPE SURFACES....... ....2” MIN.

Figure 3
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK REQUIRED AIR
SPACES WITH INSULATION OR ANY OTHER
MATERIAL. DO NOT OBSTRUCT EFFECTIVE
OPENING OF FIREPLACE WITH ANY TYPE OF
FACING MATERIAL. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
MUST NOT BE IN CONTACT WITH THE BLACK
FRONT FACE OF THE FIREPLACE.
MANTLE CLEARANCES:
Woodwork, such as wood trims, mantles, and other
combustible materials, should not be placed within 9
inches of the effective opening of this fireplace.
*The effective opening is considered the opening
where actual heat output may occur
Combustible material above and projecting more
than 1-1/2 inches from the fireplaces’ front face (see
fig. 4) should not be placed less than 12 inches from
the effective opening of the fireplace (ref; NFPA std.
7-3.3.3.)
Figure 4
FRAMING
Construct framing using dimensions shown in
figures 5, 7 and 8 depending on your particular
installation.
If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting,
tile (other than ceramic), or any combustible material
other than wood flooring; the fireplace must be
installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the fireplace.
Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, metal
safety strips (provided) must be placed between
hearth extensions (not supplied) and bottom front
edge of fireplace to protect against glowing embers
(figure 6).
If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised
platform, a “Z-type” metal safety shield (not
supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required
platform height (see figure 7). The shield must be
made of (26-28ga) galvanized sheet metal to prevent
corrosion.

Figure 9
Proceed to secure fireplace to prepared framing
at nailing flanges located
at the sides of the fireplace as shown in figure

HEARTH EXTENSIONS
A hearth extension is required to protect combustible floor
surrounding fireplace. You may obtain kit No. HE-P36 or you
may fabricate your own per the dimensions shown on figure
10.
The hearth extension must project 20 in. min. to the front
and 12 in. min. beyond each side of the fireplace opening except on the end where projection is 16 in. min. to the front and
20 in to the sides. (See figure 10).
