IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE RULES TO FOLLOW FOR SAFETY.
1. Before starting your fireplace installation,
read these installation instructions carefully to be sure you understand them completely and in entirety. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2. Always check your local building codes. The installation must comply with all local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.
3. These fireplaces must be installed with Security Chimneys FTF10 [10" (250 mm) in­side diameter] Chimney System only. These systems are intended for use in any applica­tion where a traditional masonry type fireplace would apply. The chimney system must al­ways vent to the outside of the building.
4. To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fireplace and chimney prior to use and periodically during the heating season.
5. Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use chemical chimney cleaners or flame colorants in your fireplace.
Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps. These woods burn excessively hot and may contain chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When burned, these chemicals can pose a significant hazard.
6. DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
7. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquids at safe distance from the fireplace.
8. NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
9. Always keep flue damper open when heat is present in the fireplace.
10. Before servicing, allow the fireplace to cool. Always shut off any electricity or gas to the fireplace while working on it. This will prevent any possible electrical shock or burns.
11. This fireplace is not intended to heat an entire home or be used as a primary heat source. It is designed to ensure homeowner comfort by pro­viding supplemental heat to the room.
12. Always ensure that an adequate supply of replacement combustion air from the outside of the house is accessible to the fire to support normal combustion. Fireplaces consume large volumes of air during the normal combustion process. In the event the home is tightly sealed with modern energy efficient features, the op­tional combustion air kit may not provide all the air required to support combustion.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.
13. DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other products not specified herein by the manufac­turer for use with this fireplace. All gas log sets must be operated with the damper clamped open, including unlisted “vent free” log sets. Listed “vent-free” log sets may be operated with the damper closed.
14. "Smoke free” operation is not warranteed nor are we responsible for inadequate system draft caused by mechanical systems, general construction conditions, inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions and/or un­usual environmental factors or conditions be­yond our control.
15. Never, under any circumstances, install a fireplace, chimney component or any acces­sories, that has visible or suspected physical damage as a result of handling or transporta­tion. These items should be inspected by your distributor or qualified factory representative to ensure safe condition. When in doubt, con­sult your distributor.
16. For additional safety considerations and complete operating instructions, refer to the Care and Operation Manual provided with the fireplace.

PRECAUTIONS
Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult
to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a quali­fied or certified “tradesman” familiar with com­monly accepted fireplace installation and safety techniques as well as prevailing local codes.
The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory-built fireplaces are clearances to combustible materials, proper assembly of component parts, height of the chimney system, the proper use of accesso­ries supplied by the manufacturer and the techniques employed in using finishing mate­rials applied to the wall surrounding the fire­place, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each of these topics will be covered in thorough detail throughout this manual. Please give each your special attention as you progress with your installation.
IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING IN CANADA, THE CHIMNEY AIR KIT MUST BE INSTALLED PER THE WARNOCK HERSEY INC. LISTING.
IMPORTANT: THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE TO COMBUSTIBLES FOR THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM IS 2" (51 MM).
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION General Information
These fireplaces are conventional radiant heat fireplaces with standard bar grates, optional outside combustion air kits and optional deco­rative glass doors.
Note: Illustrations shown reflect “typical” instal­lations with nominal dimensions and are for design and framing reference only. Actual instal­lations may vary due to individual design prefer­ences. However, always maintain minimum clear­ances to combustible materials and do not vio­late any specific installation requirements.
The Colonial Series fireplaces have been tested and listed by Warnock Hersey Inc. (Report No. J20054576-231) to U.L. 127 standard for U.S. installations and U.L.C. S610 standard for Cana­dian installations. These units are intended for installation in residential homes and buildings of conventional construction, not in mobile homes.
These fireplace systems are designed for in­stallation in accordance with the National Fire Protection Standard for chimneys, fireplaces and solid fuel burning appliances; NFPA 211 and in accordance with codes such as the BOCA Basic/National Codes, the Standard Mechani­cal Code, Uniform Building Codes and/or the Canadian National Code.
WARNING: FAILURE TO USE MANUFAC­TURE PROVIDED PARTS, VARIATIONS IN TECHNIQUES AND CONSTRUCTION MA­TERIALS OR PRACTICES OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL MAY CREATE A FIRE HAZARD AND VOID THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
When complete these fireplace systems consist of five basic “sub-systems”:
1. The Fireplace
2. The Chimney and Termination
3. The Optional Glass Doors
4. The Optional Combustion Air Kit
5. The Chimney Collar Enclosure Kit (Canada
Only)
CLEARANCES AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace may be placed on or near normal construction materials*. The combustion air kit, firestop spacer and roof flashings (not chase flashings) may be placed directly on or against normal construction materials*. The chimney requires a minimum 2" (51 mm) air space to combustibles. A combustible mantle may be installed a minimum of 12" (305 mm) above the opening of the fireplace as per NFPA 211, Sec­tion 7-2.3.3. In Canada the minimum is 24" (610 mm) above the opening.

Chase Enclosure
A chase is a vertical box-like structure con­structed to surround the fireplace and chimney. Refer to
Figure 2
for a typical chase configura­tion. As with all chimney installations, avoid overhead obstructions such as trees, power lines, etc. A chase should be constructed and insulated just like any outside wall. In a cold climate, we recommend the base of the chase should also be insulated between the solid continuous floor beneath the fireplace and the chase bottom. Chase insulation in a cold cli­mate installation is not required for safety.
ASSEMBLY OUTLINE Before You Start
Check your inventory list to be sure you have all the necessary parts supplied in good usable condition. Check also for any concealed damage.
Check the operation of the damper. The damper is controlled through the use of a control lever located within the firebox opening at the top center just behind the firebox lintel (
Push back and up (away from the front of the fireplace) to lock the damper blade in the OPEN position. To lock the damper in the CLOSED position, the damper handle needs to be pulled forward and up (towards the front of the fireplace).

Fig-
your fireplace system.
PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply­wood, particle board or other hard surfaces.
Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can enter the room from under the fireplace.
The fireplace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the fireplace positioned into the opening.
Usually, no special floor support is needed for the fireplace, however, to be certain:
1. Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system including chimney and surround ma­terials such as brick, stone, etc., to be in­stalled. Shipping weights for the fireplace may be found on page 17.
2. Measure the square footage of the floor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.
3. Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and thickness of floor boards.
4. Use this information and consult your local building code to determine if you need addi­tional support.
CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE HEAT-CIRCU­LATING AIR INLET AND OUTLET PORTS ON CIRCULATING MODELS. DOING SO MAY RE­SULT IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
If you plan to raise the fireplace and hearth extension, build the platform assembly then position fireplace and hearth extension on top. Secure the platform to the floor to prevent possible shifting.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the Colonial fireplace is as follows; sides and back – 1" (25.4 mm), combustible floor – 0" (0 mm), adjacent wall 18" (457 mm), adjacent shielded wall (
K factor of .84 or less 24" W x 36" H
(305 mm), ceiling – 37 ¹⁄₂" (953 mm).
Note: Clearance at the nailing flange for both fireplace models is 0" (0mm).
Note: Adjacent wall considerations are for an adjacent wall on only a single side. Walls should not be placed at minimum distance at both sides of the fireplace.

Figure 7
Note: Install the hearth extension only as
illustrated.
The safety strips should extend from front and sides of the fireplace 2" (51 mm). In the event a wooden support is used to elevate the fire­place above the floor, a “Z” type safety strip should be fabricated and used to protect the front surface of the wood support as well as the floor beneath the hearth extension (
Figures 8 and 9
). The safety strips should be
tacked down to prevent possible movement.
