CL36D AND CR36D INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

F. INSTALLATION OF FIREPLACE

WARNING!

Before starting, do the following:

1. Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
2. Keep hand tools in good condition. Sharpen cutting edges and make sure tool handles are secure.
3. Always maintain the minimum air space required to the enclosure to prevent fire.

Important: To ensure proper fit of the glass doors,

check the fireplace opening for square. Measure

diagonal distances of the opening to make sure

they are equal. If they are not equal, continue to

shim the fireplace until those diagonals are equal.

Figure 7 - Positioning the Metal Strips

1. Positioning the Fireplace

This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible

or noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the

instructions for framing on pages 10-12. Slide the

fireplace into position. Be sure to provide the

minimum ½ air clearance at the sides and back of

the fireplace assembly.

2. Placing the Protective Metal Hearth

Strips

Included with your fireplace you will find three metal

hearth strips measuring approximately 28 x 4.

These strips are used to provide added protection

where the fireplace and the hearth extension meet.
Slide each metal strip 2 under the front edge of the

fireplace. The individual pieces must overlap each

other by 1 minimum in the middle of the fireplace to

provide continuous coverage of the floor. See Figure 7.

These metal strips should extend from the front and

sides of the fireplace opening by 2.

3. Leveling the Fireplace

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front-to-back.

Shim with noncombustible material, such as sheet

metal, as necessary. Secure the fireplace (using the

nailing flanges located on either side of the fireplace)

to the vertical framing.
