FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Notice for Finishing with Tile or Stone
The wall above the fireplace will become hot. Install the non-
combustible board supplied with the fireplace. Tile or other
non-combustible materials can be applied to the board or face
of the fireplace. All adhesives must be designed for high-
temperature applications (minimum rating of 300°F). Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
See step 2, # 4 (page 28) for correct placement of the nailing
flanges. Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly installed
materials to fail.
Notice for Finishing with Paint
Use a coating designed for 300°F environments and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for surface preparation, application
and curing. Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly
applied coatings to fail or discolor. Light colors may show
some discoloration. Contact paint manufacturer for application
questions.
Inner Top Deflector Installation (Optional)
The purpose of the
Inner Top Deflector
is to reduce temperatures
across the top of the fireplace opening. The fireplace is safe
without the deflector. The deflector will also help with finishing
materials thicker than 1/2 inch to push the heat away from under
the finishing material. The deflector can be used for finishing
material up to 1 1/2 inch.
If installing an optional
Inner Top Deflector
, loosen the (5)
Phillips head screws securing the inner firebox top.
(See Figure
34)
Do not remove screws completely. Slide into place with the
inner top deflector slot angled downward. Slide the deflector
between the inner firebox top and the fireplace opening, until the
front of the deflector is flush with the wall. Tighten the (5) Phillips
head screws to lock in place.
