F. STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION OF THE FIREPLACE SYSTEM

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.

STEP 1 - Positioning the Fireplace.

This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or non-combustible continuous surface. Follow the instructions for framing on page 9. Be sure to pro- vide the minimum 1" air clearance at the sides and back of the firebox assembly. Framing that is per- pendicular to the fireplace front may contact the side of the firebox assembly at the nailing flanges.

STEP 2 - Placing the Protective Metal Hearth Strips.

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

Slide the metal strips two inches under the front edge of the fireplace with the 2 pieces overlapping other in the middle of the fireplace to provide continuous cov- erage of the floor. See Figure 10.

STEP 3 - Leveling the Fireplace.

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim with non-combustible material, such as sheet metal, as necessary.

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

Secure the fireplace by utilizing the nailing tabs locat- ed on either side of the fireplace to the vertical fram- ing. Hold-down tabs are provided at the base of the firebox assembly for attachment to the subfloor if desired.

NOTE: Top Header may be positioned on the hemmed seam across the top of the firebox assembly.
