LOCATION OF
FIREPLACE
Carefully select the proper
location for heat circulation,
aesthetics, chimney obstruc-
tions, and clearance to side
wall. With proper prepianning,
a slight adjustment of a few
inches can save considerable
time
and
expense during
con-
struction and assembly.
If
there is a perpendicular
;ide wall closer than
15"
from
:he nearest side of the
fire-
]lace opening, it must be pro.
ected with a metal

INSTALLING
THE
FIREPLACE
The fireplace may be installed
directly on a combustible
floor or may be raised on a
platform of any desired
height. Do not place fireplace
on carpeting, vinyl or other
soft-surfaced floor coverings.
It may, however, be placed on
flat wood, plywood, particle
board or other hard-surfaced
materials. Be sure fireplace

rests on a solid continuous
floor or platform so no cold
air can enter room from under
fireplace.
The fireplace may be posi-
tioned and then
the framing
built around it, or the framing
may be constructed and the
firepiace pushed into the
opening.
Usualiy, no special floor sup-
port is needed for the fire-
place; however, to be certain:
1.
Estimate the total weight
of the fireplace system and
surround materials such as
brick, stone, etc., to be
installed. Shipping weights for
the fireplace and chimney
components may be found in
the suggested price list.
2.
Measure the square foot-
age of the floor space to be
occupied by the system, sur-
rounds and hearth extension
