MHC36 AND MHR36 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
D. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1.Fireplace Locations and Space Requirements
Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed along a wall or across a corner. See Figure 2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations of considerable air movement can affect the performance and cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the fireplace. Consideration should be given to these factors before deciding on a location.
CLEARANCES!
A minimum 1 in. air clearance must be maintained at the back and sides of the fire- place assembly except at the nailing flange where the clearance is 1/2 in.
Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in.minimum air space clearance between the framing and chimney section.

2.Combustion air needs of a heavily fired fireplace may deplete the available oxygen supply.
CAUTION:
The structural integrity of the manufactured housing floor, wall, ceiling and roof must be maintained.
WARNING!
For all manufactured housing installations the outside air kit, glass door kit and MH842 manufactured housing roof thimble and flashing kit, must be used.
