PLANNING AHEAD

CHOOSING THE LOCATION FOR
YOUR FIREPLACE:

Figure 1 shows some of the many ways your fireplace may
be installed.  Consider the traffic pattern in your room and
the location of doors and windows.  A corner location may
be best where space is limited.

Your fireplace weighs no more than some of your fine
furniture.  If the fireplace is located near a load bearing wall,
additional supports to the foundation will not be necessary.

HEAVY FACINGS SUCH AS BRICK, STONE, ETC., MAY
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FOUNDATION SUPPORT.

ALTHOUGH THIS UNIT MAY BE INSTALLED ON COM-
BUSTIBLE SURFACES, IT MUST NOT BE INSTALLED

ON CARPET OR VINYL.
