Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fi replace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fi replace enclosure

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES

MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COM- BUSTIBLES:

Fireplace framing - 0” to stand-offs (top, rear & sides) Fireplace finishing - 4” to sides of fireplace opening.

be “fi nished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

For convenience, the stand-offs have been shipped fl at. Be- fore framing, ensure the stand-offs are opened and screwed in place.

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the fi re- place should be raised to be fl ush with either the hearth or the fi nished fl oor.

When roughing in the fi replace, raise the fi replace to accom- modate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood.
