in residential installations. The HE200 wood fireplace is not intended for installation in a bedroom of a
mobile home.
In Canada, the CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment and the CSA
C22.1 Canadian National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code requirements. In
the USA, the ANSI NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances
and the ANSI NFPA 70 National Electrical Code are to be followed in the absence of local code
requirements.

a masonry chimney.
6.3 Fireplace Installation
6.3.1 Locating the HE200
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors,
and the traffic flow in the room. Figure some space in front of the unit for the hearth extension and the
mantel and taking into consideration the location of the heat distribution systems (optional), fresh air
intake kit and chimney. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through
the house without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor can be
checked by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system. Weight is given in
Section 2.1: HE200
Specifications . Next, measure the area occupied by the fireplace, note the floor construction and
consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.
WARNING: THE FIREPLACE MUST BE INSTALLED ON A LEVEL AND STRAIGHT (NOT
UNEVEN) SURFACE.
