2.1 Fireplace Installation
1. Before beginning installation, remove the fireplace trim to protect it from damage. The fastening
screws are located behind the upper and lower louvers. Make sure no masonry products or acids come
into contact with the trim as these may discolor the finish which is not under warranty.
2. Remove all combustible floor coverings, e.g. carpeting, linoleum, etc., from the area where the
fireplace is to be installed and make sure the surface is leveled.
3. The fireplace can be installed directly on the floor or on a platform made of combustible materials,
such as wood or plywood or any other hard, sturdy surface.
4. A 48" x 16" (1219 mm x 406 mm) minimum hearth extension made of non combustible material is
required. The extension can be installed below the base of the fireplace or flush mounted.
5. To prevent any burning embers falling between the fireplace and the hearth extension from coming
into contact with the floor, insert a metal sheet under the front of the fireplace. This sheet must extend
4" (102 mm) on both sides of the fireplace and 2" (51 mm) in front. The non combustible hearth
extension should rest on the 2" (51 mm) band of sheet metal in front. You can also prevent embers
from falling in the joint between the fireplace and the hearth extension by filling it with mortar grout.
6. To anchor the fireplace to the floor, unfold the lower metal attachments and screw them to the floor
using 1" (25 mm) screws.
