for clearance requirements to the nailing flange located at each side of the unit and any screw heads adjacent to it.
The fireplace must be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The fireplace
may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However, if installed on combustible materials, such
as carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
Hearth Extension
A hearth extension is not required with this fireplace. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control
compartment door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard
hearth extension installation requirements.
Shelf Height
To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, use the rear vent model. For top vent models, the venting attached
to the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the space above the fireplace. Do not insulate
the space between the fireplace and the area above it
(
Table 9
)
. The minimum height from the base of the fireplace
to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in
Table 9
.
