D. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

WARNING

Fire Risk!

•Metal hearth strips MUST be installed. Sparks or embers may ignite flooring.

Included with your fireplace you will find two metal hearth strips measuring approximately 26 in. x 4 in. (660 mm x 102 mm). These strips are used to provide added protection where the fireplace and the hearth extension 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 fireplace to provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 4.18. These metal strips should extend from the front and sides of the fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth exten- sion the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip as shown in Figure 4.19.

E. Level the Fireplace

Level fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back. Shim with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as neces- sary. Secure fireplace (using nailing flanges located on ei- ther side of fireplace) to the vertical framing.

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

Metal strips are placed 2 in. (51 mm) under the front of the fireplace and must extend beyond the front and sides of fireplace opening by 2 in. (51 mm).
