including but not limited to the fireplace, chimney components and
accessories, may void the warranty, listings and approvals of this system
and could result in an unsafe and potentially dangerous installation.
RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
IMPORTANT! TO ASSURE PROPER ALIGNMENT OF GLASS DOORS:
INSTALL THIS FIREPLACE IN A SQUARE AND PLUMB CONDITION,
USING SHIMS AS NECESSARY AT SIDES AND/OR BOTTOM.
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.

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).

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).

ure 1
) to get a general idea of each element of
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.
) 12"
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
Step 1. Slide the fireplace into prepared fram-
ing or position fireplace in its final position and
frame later.
Step 2. Insert the metal safety strips, packaged
with the fireplace, beneath the fireplace as
illustrated (
Figures 6 and 7
should overlap 1" (25 mm) for continual coverage of the floor.
Note: Safety strips are not required when fireplace rests on a noncombustible surface.

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.
