LOCATION
Typical Locations
Figure 1
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are
also important. Due to high temperatures the
appliance should be located out of traffic and
away from furniture and draperies. Consideration should be given to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due to elevated surface
temperatures. The location should also be
free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/
air conditioning ducting.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a
metal or wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface must be used.
These appliances may be used for bedroom
installations in the United States and are listed
accordingly. These units may not be in-
stalled in bedrooms in Canada.
CLEARANCES
Minimum clearance to combustibles for the
appliance is as follows: sides and back - 0" (0
mm), floor - 0" (0 mm), adjacent wall - 0" (0
mm), ceiling - 64" (1625 mm).

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 and surround materials such as brick,
stone, etc., to be installed.
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.
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.

rear wall, then the 20
measured from the drywall surface. It is important that this dimension be exact.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.
