4. Build the hearth to the desired size and height.
See notes below.
5.
Rough in the wall enclosure.
The
minimum rough opening dimensions
are:
32 1/4" high
36 1/2" wide
11 1/4" deep
FIGURE 6
NOTE:
A non-combustible hearth extension is not
required. If a hearth extension is desired,
combustible materials may be used.
NOTE:
Provide for a minimum of 6" of clearance in
front of the lower grill. This will provide
adequate space to open the lower grill and
operate the controls. Do not obstruct the
upper and lower grill areas to allow proper
ventilation air around the unit. Air enters the
unit at the lower grill, and exits at the upper
grill. Blocking these passages may result in
overheating the fireplace creating a
potentially hazardous situation.
6.
Place the unit into position.
Figure 6A
NOTE: When the unit is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood
flooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit. The
minimum for the support platform under the unit is 11" deep by 36" wide. If masonry is to be used (optional),
prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being used, a lintel must
be used over the top of the unit to support the added weight.
