3.1 Appliance Placement Considerations
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
FIRE HAZARD: Do NOT install this appliance directly on carpeting,
vinyl, or any other combustible material other than wood.
•
This appliance must be installed on a level surface capable of
supporting the fireplace and venting.
•
Determine the exact position of your fireplace. Consider
the hearth width, height and depth, if applicable for your
installation.
•
If possible, place the fireplace in a position where the vent
terminates between two studs, eliminating the need for any
additional framing.
•
Please be aware of the large amount of heat this fireplace will
produce when determining a location.
3.2 Floor Support and Protection
•
Floor protection in front of the fireplace is not required.
Combustible material may be used if installing a hearth
extension. Consider the thickness of the hearth extension
finishing material if building a fireplace platform.
The bottom
of the fireplace must be level with finished hearth extension for
proper fit of an overlay (optional).
•
If this appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile,
or other combustible material other than wood flooring, this
appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the appliance.
•
If the appliance is to be installed above floor level, a solid,
continuous platform must be constructed below the appliance.
