Clearances

 

The fireplace uses 1/2" standoffs on the back and sides and 4" stand-offs on the top to space
the  fireplace  away  from  framing  members  or  walls.    These  stand-offs  may  contact  the  framing
members  or  walls  but  do  not  place  insulation  or  other  material  in  the  space  between  the  stand-
offs  and  fireplace.

 

When  installed,  walls  in  front  of  the  fireplace  must  be  a  minimum  18"  to  the  side  of  the
faceplate  (15-1/2”  from  the  side  of  the  fireplace).  See  Figure  3 on page 7.

 

Fireplace  should  be  located  such  that  no  doors,  drapes,  furniture  or  other  combustibles  can  be
placed  close  or  swing  closer  than  the  minimum  36"  clearance.    Due  to  the  high  heat  output  of
this  fireplace,  choose  a  location  away  from  high  traffic  areas.

 

Fireplace  must  be  placed  so  the  vents  below  and  above  the  glass  do  not  become  blocked.

Raised Fireplaces

 

If  the  fireplace  is  raised,  the  fireplace  enclosure  must  be  raised  as  well  (minimum  81”  enclosure
height  from  base  of  fireplace  see  Figure  8).

 

The  fireplace  (and  hearth,  if  desired)  may  be  placed  on  a  platform  designed  to  support  the
fireplace  and  vent  (approximately  600  lbs.).    See  Figure  12.
