You can install your fireplace at the floor level or build a platform to elevate it to the
desired height. Again, make sure the platform is built to sustain the weight of the
fireplace and finishing material you will use to finish the facing of your fireplace.

If you install your RUMFORD 1500 on a non-combustible floor (surface and structure)
with or without a non-combustible platform, you are not obligated to use the fireplace
bottom standoff. If you decide that you want to use the fireplace bottom standoff to
elevate your fireplace, follow the instructions in the next section.

If you install your RUMFORD 1500 on any type of combustible floor surface or structure,
you MUST install the fireplace onto the fireplace bottom standoff provided with the
fireplace. You must also reinforce the sub-floor to help spread the load from the legs of
the bottom standoff throughout the floor structure to prevent sagging.
First, cut a ¾" plywood the size of the fireplace enclosure and install it on the sub- 1.
floor where the fireplace will be installed. Fix it to the sub-floor with wood screws
every 4-6" in a grid pattern.

Next, assemble the bottom standoff shield (G) to both supports (F) (see Figure 7) 2.
using eight large self-tapping screws (N).
