Hearth considerations
You need to know whether there will be a hearth or
not in front of the appliance and some rules must be
considered.
Without hearth (up the wall)
In the case where there is no hearth, the bottom of the
appliance must be raised at least 4” inches above any
exposed combustible fl oor in front.
With hearth
Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed in front
of the appliance if within 4” vertically of the bottom of
the appliance. See Framing pages 13–19 of this
manual for hearth requirements details.
The non-combustible hearth in front of the appliance, if
within 4” of the bottom of the appliance, must include
the 1/2” Micore insulation board provided to be used
as thermal break between non-combustible and
combustible material underneath.
