If this fireplace is elevated high enough beyond
the maximum on the table, above, you will be
required to use a sheet metal shield which is
mounted on the soffit directly above the vent
cap spanning 36” wide centered over the vent
cap and spanning the full depth of the soffit,
spaced 1” down from the soffit surface using
tubular spacers or stacked washers. This metal
shield allows you to lower the clearance be-
tween Vent Cap Center and the metal shield to
12”.
The ML39 Linear Fireplace may be installed di-
rectly on wood floor or any non-combustible
solid flooring, except carpet and vinyl. The bot-
tom edge of the visible glass will be located 9-
3/16” up from the floor level in this configura-
tion.
Mendota recommends that the ML39 be in-
stalled on an elevated wood framed support
stand of at least 15” tall which will result in the
bottom edge of the visible glass locating at 24”
above the floor level of the room.
How To Determine The Proper Installed Height Of This Fireplace:
Determine how individuals spend their time in the room this fireplace is to be installed. If time is spent mostly sitting on a
chair or sofa, determine the eye level height of the shortest individual while this individual is sitting in the chair or sofa.
Subtract 10” from the eye level height. This is the recommended height for the bottom edge of the visible glass.
This recommendation is strictly cosmetic and is not required to be adhered to.
