ARNING
The dimensions shown in Figures 4 and
5 are minimum clearances to maintain
when installing this heater. Left and right
clearances are determined when facing the
front of the heater.
Follow these instructions carefully to
ensure safe installation. Failure to follow
instructions exactly can create a fire
hazard.
Floor Clearance
— The fireplace may be installed directly
on a combustible floor or a raised platform of an appropriate
height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or
other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat
wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be
sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform
with appropriate framing for support so that no cold air can
enter from under the firebox. See note below regarding
floor installation with wide contemporary faces.
Mantel clearances
— Must meet the clearance require-
ments detailed in
Figures 4 and 5.
NOTE: When installing at floor level and using the wide
contemporary face, the fireplace must be raised up a
minimum of 3/4" to allow clearance for flooring material.
