Intended Product Use Statement:
The MAGNUM fireplace and DM 54 chimney
systems are intended to burn solid wood fuel, propane or
natural gas.
Note:
Installation of a gas pipe must comply with the Standard for
Decorative Gas Appliances for Installation in Vented Fireplaces,
ANSI Z21.60.
This fireplace is not designed to sit directly on a
combustible floor system. The Fire-Lite application listed in the
back section of this manual is designed to sit on a combustible
floor. See pages 50-68 for specific installation requirements.
This fireplace is intended for use as a supplemental
heat source only and is not intended for heavy use as a primary
heating system.
Overfiring, abusive burning or mistreatment will void
any claims (eg. burning construction debris or other highly
flammable material; tossing, kicking or otherwise forcing logs
into the firebox).
MAGNUM fireplace and DM 54 chimney systems are
conventional indoor or outdoor fireplaces designed to appear like
traditional masonry fireplaces. MAGNUM fireplace and DM 54
chimney system units are intended for installation in residential
homes and other buildings of conventional construction.
Note:
The local authority having code jurisdiction should be
consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a
permit.
Important areas of concern with the installation of these
fireplaces are: construction of proper load bearing foundation
and concrete support slab; code required hearth extension
substrates and supports; proper assembly of components;
clearance to combustible materials; height of chimney; and,
techniques employed in applying finishing materials to the
fireplace opening and hearth extension.
Each of these important topics will be covered in detail
throughout this manual. Installation personnel must give special
attention to each topic as the installation progresses.
All work performed on, near and adjoining the fireplace
and chimney installation must meet or exceed the specifications
and requirements in this manual and the prevailing local building
code.
Subsequent renovations, additions of cabinets and
storage spaces in the enclosure surrounding the fireplace are also
limited to the specifications in this manual and to the prevailing
local building code.
Isokern is not responsible for other construction work
around the fireplace unit.
