Clearances to Combustible Material
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to
procedures set out in safety standards ULC S628 (Canada), UL1482 (U.S.A.) and UL737
(U.S.A.).
When the insert 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 insert may be located closer to combustibles than the minimum
clearance figures given.
8.1
Location of 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 insert (model, serial
number, etc.). You can find the certification label to the front on the outside of the air jacket
of the insert.
To access the certification label, the faceplate may need to be removed. Therefore, we
recommend that you note the insert’s serial number on this manual, since it will be needed
to precisely identify the version of the appliance in the event you require replacement parts
or technical assistance.
8.2
The Masonry Fireplace Throat Damper
If the fireplace's draft control system is to remain in the masonry fireplace, it must be
locked open for access of the chimney liner or removed entirely. If you remove draft control
system from the masonry hearth, you will need to install the metal plate (27009), supplied
with the owner’s manual kit, indicating that the masonry hearth has been modified. It must
be secured inside the masonry hearth, in a visible place and easy to locate.
8.3
Installation of a Combustible Mantel Shelf
It is possible to install a combustible shelf with a maximum depth of 12" at a height of at
least 27" above the insert. At a height of more than 27 ", the shelf must still have a depth
of 12" maximum. Refer to the following figure.
