PRECAUTIONS

Note: These fireplace systems are not difficult to install. However, in the interest of safety, it is recommended that the installer be a quali- fied or certified “tradesman” familiar with com- monly accepted fireplace installation and safety techniques as well as prevailing local codes.

The most important areas of concern dealing with the installation of factory-built fireplaces are clearances to combustible materials, proper assembly of component parts, height of the chimney system, the proper use of accesso- ries supplied by the manufacturer and the techniques employed in using finishing mate- rials applied to the wall surrounding the fire- place, hearth extensions and wall shields. Each of these topics will be covered in thorough detail throughout this manual. Please give each your special attention as you progress with your installation.

IMPORTANT: WHEN INSTALLING IN CANADA, THE CHIMNEY AIR KIT MUST BE INSTALLED PER THE WARNOCK HERSEY INC. LISTING.

IMPORTANT: THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE TO COMBUSTIBLES FOR THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM IS 2" (51 MM).
