LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

The fireplace is shipped with a set-up face that is 1/8" larger on the top, bottom and each side than the faceplate. Leave the set-up face in place to act as a tem- plate when installing the finishing face.

Do not build shelves or cupboards into the area above the fireplace.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clear- ance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

IMPORTANT

This unit, fully dressed, weighs 850 lbs (385.6kg)

Ensure there is adequate floor support for the unit, chimney and facing material. Some ma- terial could weigh thousands of pounds.

We recommend that the fireplace be secured to the floor in all cases.

Using the door opening as a datum, level the fireplaceby shimming under- neath the fireplace.

Remove and dis- card the lifting han- dles. Bend the tabs down and secure the unit to the floor.

The fireplace enclosure must be provided with sufficient air circulation to avoid a fire hazard. Install ventilation grilles (minimum openings of 40 sq. inches) at both floor and ceiling levels of the enclosure. These grilles must not re- strict the flow of heat by more than 25%.

Do not install into any area having a height less than 7 feet (ceiling of enclosure to fireplace bottom, excluding hearth height).

The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the stove is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
