HE200 - Installation and Operation Manual
7 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set out in
safety standards ULC S610 (Canada) and UL127 (U.S.A.). When the fireplace is installed so that its surfaces
are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal
and even abnormal operating conditions.
No part of the fireplace may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum clearances given
below.
The following clearances meet the minimum requirements for a safe installation.
Side wall : 16" (41 cm) measured from the inside door frame.
Side mantle : 12" minimum (6" maximum of protrusion) measured from the inside door frame.
Wall in front of fireplace : 48"
Ceiling : 84 in. (2.13 m) measured from the base of the fireplace.
Fireplace enclosure :
Back wall : 0"
Sides : 0"
Floor (under the fireplace) : 0"
Chimney : 2" (50 mm)
Combustible shelf :
48" (122 cm) measured from the base of the fireplace for a shelf with a depth of 6" (15 cm) or less.
54" (137 cm) measured from the base of the fireplace for a shelf with a depth of more than 12" (30
cm).
(The heat shield for surround/shelf mentioned on pages 46 and 51 is mandatory in the case of an
installation of a combustible shelf.)
7.1 Locating the Certification Label
Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always overrides the
information published in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines and/or web sites),
it is important to refer to it in order to have a safe and compliant installation. In addition, you will find
information about your fireplace (model, serial number, etc.). You can find the certification label on the
fireplace base, behind the bottom louver.
