Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

 

 

 

If the unit is raised less than

 

 

 

 

 

 

3” (76mm) it is mandatory to

 

 

 

have a hearth installed with

 

 

 

a protector pad (sheet metal)

 

 

 

placed directly on the floor or

 

 

 

hearth framing, with the cement

 

 

 

board (see specs below) on

 

 

 

top of it. Tile, or another non-

 

 

 

combustible material

forms

 

 

 

the top layer of the hearth. A

Requirements

to the edge of the hearth. The

 

 

 

trim can be combustible as long as the hearth extends at least 12” (305 mm) in front of the fireplace and 1” (25 mm) on either side of the fireplace opening. To install the face, it is necessary for the bottom flange of the fireplace opening to overlap or be flush with the tile. If the total thickness of the protector pad, cement board, and finished tile is more than 1” (25 mm) the fireplace must be raised to accommodate additional thickness. NOTE: The Manor (the cast iron) face does NOT require any floor protection even when installed at floor level.

Fireplace Surround:

NOTE: Any paint that is applied to the mantel or facing above the unit should be “heat resistance” or it may discolour.

CEMENT BOARD: The cement board can be fastened to the front of the unit with self-drilling metal screws. It is safe to screw to the outer border of the fireplace. Cement board for the hearth can be purchased at a local building material store. The board must have a k-value of 7.69 (metric version: 13 W/m × K) and a R-value of 0.13 (metric version: 0.023 m² × K/W) or better.

TILED FINISH: Because of the amount of heat exuded by the fireplace, drywall cannot come directly up to the fireplace. Figure 21 shows the minimum dimensions for the cement board. Tile or other non- combustible materials cover the cement board, but do not overlap into the fireplace opening. The total depth of the cement board and the finishing materials should be a minimum of 1” (25 mm) to maximum of 1⅜” (35 cm). The fireplace front will be installed over top of the finishing material.

 

SMOOTH FINISH: The fireplace will have to be

 

 

recessed by ½” (12 mm) and two (2) layers of

 

cement board must be used if the area around the

 

fireplace will be finished flush with the rest of the

 

wall.

 

ROCK OR BRICK FINISH: If the face of the

 

fireplace is to be recessed, the face option

 

chosen will determine the size and shape of the

 

surrounding material (i.e. brickwork). Since the

 

dimensions provided on the face option instruction

 

sheet are only approximations it is recommended

 

that the steel template of the chosen face is used.

 

See Parts List - Options for the face template part
