INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Authority having jurisdiction (such as the municipal building department, the fire department, the fire prevention

bureau, etc) must be consulted before installation to determine if a building permit is required.

CAUTION: Read these instructions carefully before commencing the installation. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage, bodily harm and even death.

Note: Do not install a fireplace insert inside the factory-built fireplace, unless the insert has been tested and is
SPECIFICALLY CERTIFIED for use in conjunction with these models.

WARNING: As this fireplace is only intended for burning wood, do not install an unvented gas log set into the
structure.

LOCATION OF THE FIREPLACE

Select the appropriate location for the fireplace. The position of the fireplace should be selected on the basis of heat output,
safety and esthetics.

The cutting of joists and rafters for floor, ceiling and roof chimney penetrations will affect the load bearing capacities of the
dwelling structure. Improper cutting of chimney openings in the attic and roof will affect the bearing and thermal
insulating capacity as well as the weather tightness of the dwelling. Incorrect workmanship must be avoided.

Consult a professional engineer or a certified installer as required.

If possible, select a location for the fireplace that will minimize the number of offsets in the chimney course. Offsets will
reduce the draft, complicate the chimney sweeper’s work and increase installation costs.

An installation drawing should be prepared prior to the installation work.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

The fireplace can be placed directly onto or against normal, combustible construction materials such as lumber, plywood,
millboard, particleboard, drywall and decorative wood paneling.
The fireplace should NOT be placed directly against, or be in contact with an insulation material.
The framing around the face of the fireplace should be constructed with nominal 2" x 4" construction lumber or metal studs.
The framing is must be nailed or screwed onto a podium and to the ceiling. As there are some differences between the
podium requirements in Canada and in the US, it is very important to consider in which country the installation will be
made. The Figure 1 shows the minimum framing dimensions for US and Canada.

DO NOT NAIL OR SCREW FRAMING MEMBERS INTO THE FIREPLACE.

Position the fireplace at the selected location, taking care of respecting the minimum clearances to combustible materials
shown in Figure 2.
The minimum dimensions of the hearth extension are specified in Figure 2. The hearth extension is to be covered with non­combustible materials only, such as steel, cement or mortar, stone, brick, ceramic tiles. The ceramic tiles must have a
minimum thickness of 5/16’’ or an equivalent thickness of the other materials. Unidentified materials may be combustible:
verify the product specifications prior to installation.

Make sure to seal the gap between the fireplace face and the hearth extension with a metal strip or a sand-cement grout in
order to prevent sparks or embers from reaching combustible materials.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

WARNING: The hearth extension has to be installed only as illustrated.

CLEARANCE TO THE FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE

The minimum distance between the front of the fireplace and any combustible material is 5 feet, (152 cm).
Do not place such materials within this minimum distance in order to reduce risk of fire.
