B. Secure the Fireplace

•Position the Fireplace

This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the in- structions for framing in Section 3.D. Slide the fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the minimum air clear- ance at the sides and back of the fireplace assembly. See Section 3.B.

WARNING

Fire Risk!

•Prevent contact with sagging, loose insulation.

•Do NOT install against vapor barriers or exposed insulation.

•Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

WARNING

Fire Risk!

•Metal hearth strips MUST be installed. Sparks or embers may ignite flooring.

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in. (660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth ex- tension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the fireplace. The individual pieces must over- lap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the fireplace to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 4.4. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth extension the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.6.

•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 flang- es 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, continue to shim the fireplace until those diagonals are equal.

1 in. (25 mm) overlap

Protective metal strips are placed 2 in. (51 mm) under the front of the fireplace and must extend beyond the front and sides of fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).
