COLD CLIMATE INSTALLATION
If you live in a cold climate, it is especially important to
seal all cracks around fireplace with non-combustible
material and wherever cold air
could enter the room.
Surround material
must be caulked where it meets the
black metal facing of the fireplace
to avoid cold air
intrusion. Use only non-combustible caulking material
on fireplace facing to seal.
In areas
of extreme cold, it is recommended that the
outer wall of the chase be insulated. This will reduce the
possibility of cold air convection currents on the fire-
place. NEVER use blown-in type of insulation as this
could plug the holes at the base of the unit and interlere
with the thermal syphoning action necessary to keep the
chimney cool.
FINISHING THE
FIREPLACE
FIREPLACE FACING
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is
important to remember the following: THE BLACK
FACE OF THE FIREPLACE MUST NOT BE COVERED
WlTH ANY TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
Non-combustible facing material
such as tile, brick,
glass, etc. may overlap the black face of the fireplace.
Be sure to use non-combustible heat resistant mortar or
adhesive
when attaching to fireplace face. The face of
the fireplace may be painted to match the mom decor
provided you use a heat resistant paint.
NOTE: DECORATIVE FACING MUST
NOT EXTEND
INTO THE FIREPLACE OPENING AT ALL, BECAUSE
IT
WlLL INTERFERE WlTH THE OPERATION OF THE
GLASS DOORS. THE GLASS DOOR MOUNTS OVER
ME FACING MATERIAL. THE MOUNTING HARD-
WARE PROVIDED
WILL ALLOW INSTALLATION TO
FACING MATERIAL
OF O" TO 5 IN WIDTH.
