32 HE250 - Installation and Operation Manual
6.3 Fireplace Installation
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FIREPLACE, YOU MUST INSTALL THE TWO SPACERS AND THE HEAT SHIELD ON
TOP AND THE TWO SPACERS ON THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE.
The spacers and the heat shield are in the firebox of the fireplace and the screws are with the manual kit.
Using the screws provided, install the two spacers (A) and the heat shield (B) on top of the fireplace and the
two spacers (C) on the back of it.
6.3.1 Locating the HE250
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of windows, doors,
and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the
hearth extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of the hot air ducts
(optional), outside air kit and chimney. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will
pass through the house without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The adequacy of the floor can be
checked by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system. Weight is given in Section 2.1: HE250
Specifications. Next, measure the area occupied by the fireplace, note the floor construction and
consult your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.
