SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire
in any home, we recommend installing smoke detec-
tors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway
adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occa-
sional false activation from the heat produced by the
fireplace insert). If your local code requires a smoke
detector be installed within the same room, you must
follow the requirements of your local code. Check with
your local building department for requirements in your
area.

FLOOR PROTECTION
This appliance requires a heat resistant non-
combustible approved fireplace hearth or hearth exten-
sion. If the floor protection is to be stone, tile, brick,
etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continu-
ous non-combustible surface.
This protected area must extend a minimum of 18" (457
mm) to the front of the fuel door opening and 8" (203
mm) beyond both sides of the fuel door opening.

CHIMNEY INSPECTION
The existing fireplace should be inspected by a local fire
marshal or qualified installer for adequate serviceability
prior to installing this appliance.
Factory built fireplace (not approved in Canada): If
any portion of the chimney system shows signs of
structural or mechanical weaknesses, such as:
cracks, leaky joints, corroded or warped surfaces.
Look for obvious bulges in the lining, which may indi-
cate the need to replace that section (use a bright
flashlight. Any faulty portion must be repaired or re-
placed prior to installing this appliance. Also, inspect
the attic to see that the chimney has proper clearance
to combustible framing members.

If the existing fireplace flue system is dirty or has some
obstruction in it, clean it. A dirty chimney can cause
your insert to smoke when refueling, and can result in a
chimney fire. An oversized chimney may result in less
than optimum performance. Installations into a large
masonry chimney may require a liner to improve per-
formance.
