When enclosing the Optica/Bioptica fireplace there is a minimum clear area which must be maintained. Nothing except the Optica/
Bioptica may be within this area. When enclosed, the Optica/Bioptica is flush - short glass side standoff frame flush with the Finished
Wall Limit - above. This minimum area
MUST BE DEFINED BY NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
. The
inside
of the enclosing walls (including
any necessary framing) may be no less than the distances shown above.
We recommend that the fireplace be set into its final location before building the enclosure.
