EC SERIES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

F. INSTALLATION OF FIREPLACE

WARNING!

Before starting, do the following:

1.Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

2.Keep hand tools in good condition. Sharpen cutting edges and make sure tool handles are secure.

3.Always maintain the minimum air space required to the enclosure to prevent fire.

1.Position the Fireplace

This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the instructions for framing on pages 10-12. Slide the fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the minimum air clearance at the sides and back of the fireplace assembly.

2. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in. These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. under the front edge of the fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each other by 1 in. minimum in the middle of the fireplace to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 9. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in.

Figure 9 - Positioning the Metal Strips

3. Level the Fireplace

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the nailing flanges located on either side of the fireplace) to the vertical framing.

Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors, check the fireplace opening for square. Measure diagonal distances of the opening to make sure they are equal. If they are not equal, continue to shim the fireplace until those diagonals are equal.
