Note:
Install the hearth extension only as il-
lustrated (see
Figures 21 & 22
).
The safety strips should extend from front of
the fi replace at least 1 1/2" and should extend
to be at least fl ush with the sides. In the event a
wooden support is used to elevate the fi replace
above the fl oor, a “Z” type safety strip should be
fabricated and used to protect the front surface
of the wood support as well as the fl oor beneath
the hearth extension (
Figures 23 & 24
). The
safety strips should be tacked down to prevent
possible movement.
Note:
The “Z” type safety strip is not sup-
plied.
Note:
Safety strips are not required when fi re-
place rests on a noncombustible surface.
Step 3.
Refer to fi replace drawings and speci-
fi cations (see
Figures 18, 19 & 20
)
for fram-
ing dimensions and details. Frame appliance
enclosure as illustrated in
Figure 18.
Note:
The framed depth, 21 5/8" (549 mm)
from a framed wall, must always be measured
from a fi nished surface. If a wall covering such
as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall,
then the 21 5/8" (549 mm) must be measured
from the drywall surface. It is important that
this dimension be exact.
If the appliance is to be elevated above fl oor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.
The header may rest on the top metal spacers,
but must not be notched to fi t around them.
Consult all local codes.

WARNING
Under no circumstances can the
fi replace top spacers
(see Figure

be removed or modifi ed, nor
may you notch the header to fi t
around or be installed lower
than the spacers. The header
may be in direct contact with
the top spacers but may not be
supported by them.
AVERTISSEMENT
Sous aucune circonstance les
espaceurs du dessus du foyer
(voir le schéma 13) ne peuvent
être retirées ou modifiées,
vous ne pouvez pas entaillez le
colombage pour ajuster autour
ou être installé plus bas que les
espaceurs. Le colombage peut
être en contact direct avec les
espaceurs du dessus mais ne
peut être soutenu par eux.
Step 4.
The fi replace should be secured to the
side framing members through the nailing tab at
the top and bottom on each side of the fi replace
front face. Use 8d nails(
Figure 25
).

For Canadian Installations - A Cold
Climate Kit, FTF8-CCK3-LD, must be
installed in all indoor installations.
Installer must supply suitable length of 6"
Diameter, class "0" metallic air duct.
Step 5.

Note:
The nailing tab and the area directly
behind the nailing tab is exempt from the
clearances described on

. Maintain at
least 1/2” clearance from the fi rebox wrap-
per to the framing at the closest point of
contact, directly adjacent to the fl ange.
Cold Climate Kit Installation Instructions:
1.
Connect the 6" (102 mm) Class 0 air duct
provided by installer, to the duct collar on
the fi replace and secure with two (2) screws
from the kit’s hardware package.
2.
Route the Class 0 air duct out the back or
side wall, up through the ceiling or fl oor
joists to an outside wall. The air inlet hood
should be located above snow level or above
any anticipated snow level, (

Note:
If the fi replace is installed against an inside
wall, the class 0 air duct may be extended into a
ventilated attic space at least 18" (475mm) above
the attic fl oor. Secure the air inlet hood to a
vertical post with the inlet positioned downward.
Ensure that nothing blocks the hood opening.
This hood must never terminate higher than
three (3) feet below the termination.
