LOCATION OF

FIREPLACE

Carefully select the proper location for heat circulation, aesthetics, chimney obstructions and clearance to side wall(s). With proper pre-planning, a slight adjustment of a few inches can save considerable time and expense later during construction and assembly.

Carefully consider the position of the fi replace opening with respect to the location of adjacent or nearby stairwells, bath or kitchen exhaust fans and/or return air registers for forced air furnaces/air conditioners that could cause a smoking fi replace condition if the house is tightly insulated.

HEARTH EXTENSION

Note: When the unit is raised 4 inches above the fl oor the Regency Hearth Extension (Part# 000-910) is not required. If you plan to raise the fi replace and hearth extension, build the platform assembly then position fi replace and hearth extension on top. If you are not raising the unit, check that you will have suffi cient clear- ance under the bottom louver for your finishing material on top of the hearth extension, i.e. tiles, concrete board, etc.

1)Insert the metal safety strip, packaged with

the fireplace beneath the fi replace as il- lustrated below. The safety strip should be tacked down to prevent possible shifting and should overlap for continual coverage of the fl oor.

Note: Asafety strip is not required when the fireplace rests on a non-combustible surface.

Note: Install the hearth extension only as illustrated.

The safety strip should extend 2 in. (51 mm) in front and on the sides of the fi replace. In the event a wooden support is used to elevate the fireplace above the fl oor, a “Z” type safety strip should be fabricated from 20 gauge galvanized sheet steel and used to protect the front surface of the wood
