ASSEMBLY STEPS

Note: The following steps represent the normal sequence of installation. Each installation is unique, however, and might require a different sequence.

1.

Position firebox prior to framing or into

prepared framing.

2.

Install chimney air kit (Canada only).

3.

Install the chimney system.

4.

Install optional outside combustion air kit.

Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can enter the room from under the fireplace.

The fireplace may be positioned and then the framing built around it, or the framing may be constructed and the fireplace positioned into the opening.

Usually, no special floor support is needed for the fireplace, however, to be certain:

1.Estimate the total weight of the fireplace system including chimney and surround ma- terials such as brick, stone, etc., to be in- stalled. Shipping weights for the fireplace may be found on page 17.

2.Measure the square footage of the floor space to be occupied by the system, surrounds and hearth extensions.

3.Note the floor construction, i.e. 2 x 6’s, 2 x 8’s or 2 x 10’s, single or double joists, type and thickness of floor boards.

4.Use this information and consult your local building code to determine if you need addi- tional support.

CAUTION: DO NOT BLOCK THE HEAT-CIRCU- LATING AIR INLET AND OUTLET PORTS ON CIRCULATING MODELS. DOING SO MAY RE- SULT IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE

Step 1. Slide the fireplace into prepared fram- ing or position fireplace in its final position and frame later.

Step 2. Insert the metal safety strips, packaged with the fireplace, beneath the fireplace as illustrated (Figures 6 and 7 ). The safety strips should overlap 1" (25 mm) for continual cover- age of the floor.

Note: Safety strips are not required when fire- place rests on a noncombustible surface.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, ply- wood, particle board or other hard surfaces.

FIREPLACE CLEARANCES

Minimum clearance to combustibles for the TM-4500 fireplace is as follows; sides and back 1" (25.4 mm), combustible floor 0" (0 mm), adjacent wall 18" (457 mm), adjacent shielded wall (K factor of .84 or less 40" W x 40" H ) 12" (305 mm), ceiling – 37 ¹⁄₂" (953 mm).

Note: Clearance at the nailing flange for both fireplace models is 0" (0mm).

Note: Adjacent wall considerations are for an adjacent wall on only a single side. Walls should not be placed at minimum distance at both sides of the fireplace.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

Platform

Figure 7

Note: Install the hearth extension only as illustrated.

The safety strips should extend from front and sides of the fireplace 2" (51 mm). In the event a wooden support is used to elevate the fire- place above the floor, a “Z” type safety strip should be fabricated and used to protect the front surface of the wood support as well as the floor beneath the hearth extension (see Figures 8 and 9 ). The safety strips should be tacked down to prevent possible movement.
