INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
♦
Before beginning the installation of your fireplace, read
these instructions through completely.
♦
These FMI components and fireplace are safe when
installed according to this Installation Manual. Unless you
use FMI components, which has been designed and tested
for the fireplace system, you may cause a fire hazard.
♦
The FMI warranty will be voided by and FMI disclaims
any responsibility for the following actions:
a)
Modification of the fireplace, components, doors, blower,
fans, air inlet system and damper control.
b)
Use of any component part not manufactured or approved
by FMI in combination with a FMI fireplace system.
PROPER INSTALLATION is the most important step in
ensuring safe and continuous operation of the fireplace.
Consult the local building codes as to the particular
requirements concerned with the installation of all factory
built fireplaces. Although grounding may not be required by
code the manufacturer recommends it.
This fireplace is not intended to be used as a substitute for
a furnace to heat and entire home. Use for supplementary
heating only.
THIS MODEL IS NOT FOR USE IN MOBILE HOMES.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES:
Framing and enclosures may safely make direct contact with
the spacers on the top of the fireplace. The fireplace may sit
directly on combustible flooring (see step 2 below “Installing
the Fireplace”).
The fireplace opening must not be less than 14
inches from a combustible perpendicular sidewall. A 1-inch
minimum air space clearance between the combustible
materials and the chimney must be absolutely maintained. A
14-½ inch inside chase dimension is required as a minimum
size.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
HEIGHT: The MINIMUM height of the chimney, measured
from the base of the fireplace to the flue gas outlet, is 12 feet
for straight flue or a flue with one elbow set. For systems with
2 elbow sets, the MINIMUM height is 22 feet. The maximum
height of any system is 42 feet. This measurement includes the
fireplace, chimney sections and the effective height of the
termination assembly.
INSTALLING THE FIREPLACE
STEP 1: Frame the opening for the fireplace using the
dimensions shown in FIGURE 1, 2 or 3.
STEP 2: If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting,
tile (other than ceramic), or any combustible material other
than wood flooring; the fireplace must be installed upon a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the
fireplace.
STEP 3: Set the fireplace directly in front of this opening and
slide the unit back until the nailing flanges touch the side
framing.
STEP 4: Check the level of the fireplace and shim with sheet
metal if necessary.
STEP5: Before securing fireplace to prepare framing, the
ember protector (provided), must be placed between hearth
extensions (not supplied), and under the bottom front edge of
the fireplace to protect against glowing embers. If the
fireplace is to be installed on a raised platform, a Z-type ember
protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required
platform height. The ember protector should be made of
galvanized sheet metal (28ga. minimum) to prevent corrosion.
STEP 6: Secure the fireplace to the framing through the
flanges located on the sides of the fireplace with 8-penny
nails.
This wood burning fireplace complies with
UL 127
