•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.C. Slide the fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the minimum 1 in. air clearance at the sides and at back of the fireplace as- sembly. See Section 3.B.

• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installation.

WARNING

Fire Risk!

•Prevent contact with sagging, loose insulation.

•Do NOT install against vapor barriers or exposed insulation.

•Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 23 in. x 4 in. (584 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 overlap each other by 1 in. (25 mm) minimum in the middle of the fire- place to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See

Figure 18.1. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).

Screw metal strips in place.

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth extension the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip (not included) as shown in Figure 18.2.
