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 extension meet.

Slide each metal strip 2 in. (51 mm) under the front edge of the ﬁreplace. The individual pieces must overlap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the ﬁreplace to provide continuous coverage of the ﬂoor. See Figure 4.18. 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 exten- sion the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.19.

E. Level the Fireplace

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

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

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).
