CL36D AND CR36D 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.Positioning 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 ½” air clearance at the sides and back of the fireplace assembly.

2. Placing the Protective Metal Hearth

 

 

Strips

 

 

Included with your fireplace you will find three metal

 

 

hearth strips measuring approximately 28” x 4”.

 

 

These strips are used to provide added protection

 

 

where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet.

 

 

Slide each metal strip 2” under the front edge of the

 

 

fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each

 

 

other by 1” minimum in the middle of the fireplace to

 

 

provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 7.

 

 

These metal strips should extend from the front and

 

 

sides of the fireplace opening by 2”.

 

3. Leveling the Fireplace

 

 

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back.

 

 

Figure 7 - Positioning the Metal Strips

 

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.
