Rules
1. When using a 3-sided surround plate or no surround plate, any hearth/floor in front of fireplace less than 2 inches
from bottom of unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum distance of 9 inches. The hearth/floor must
have a non-combustible finish
applied over the 1/2 inch insulation board
provided with the 3-sided surround
plate 1335. Order separately if not using a surround plate. This insulation board acts as a thermal break.
2. Combustible baseboards (1 inch thick or less) located on wall below base of unit are acceptable.
3. a)
With four-sided trims:
Unit will need to be raised in every case by minimum of 1 inch to accommodate a four-
sided trim.
b)
With three-sided trims or no trim:
Bottom of heater must be at least 2 inches above combustible hearth/floor
finish in front. Non-combustible hearth applied over insulation board required if bottom of fireplace is less than
2 inches above combustible floor in front (see 1.).

WARNING
SAFETY WARNING!
The Vogue is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor in front of
the heater can get very hot. Locating the unit raised above the hearth/floor or adding a generic
freestanding screen in front of the unit can greatly reduce hearth temperatures. When using a
3-sided trim or when the finishing does not include a trim, any hearth within 2 inches of the base of
the heater must be constructed of non-combustible materials (see diagrams in the following pages).
Note that some materials, although safe can degrade due to heat—take this into consideration when
choosing materials.
