8 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’s Draft Control System (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.
