RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
If needed, the hinges can be adjusted to improve the alignment of the door latch with respect to the hole in the
fireplace facing, and for easy installation/removal of the door.
NOTE:
An improperly adjusted door seal can have a significant effect on the performance and durability of the
fireplace. A poorly adjusted door can result in reduced efficiency, over firing, excessive wood consumption and
premature fireplace failure.
INSTALLATION
Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, fire department, fire
prevention bureau, etc.) regarding restrictions and installation requirements, and the need to obtain a permit.
NOTE:
We recommend that you remove the door until after all finishing work is completed around the fireplace.
This will reduce the possibility of scratches, vandalism, or damage to the finish caused by drywall dust, muriatic
acid, plaster, cement, paint or any other harmful spray or liquid.
LOCATION
Your FOCUS 250 fireplace may be installed in many different ways (see Figure 4) without any special floor
reinforcement. We recommend that you take the time to plan your entire installation (fireplace, chimney, and
options) before beginning the actual installation (refer to Figure 5).
Dimensions of the fireplace along with clearances are shown in Figure 1 and Table 1.
The framing dimensions are larger than required for ease of installation. The Heat Dump Option will require an
extra 12" on the selected side.
