MONTANA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

F. INSTALLATION OF THE 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 9 - Positioning the Metal Strips

1. Position the Fireplace

This fireplace may be placed on either a combustible or

noncombustible continuous flat surface. Follow the instructions

for framing on pages 8 and 9. Slide the fireplace into position. Be

sure to provide the minimum air clearance at the sides and

back of the fireplace assembly.

2. Place the Protective Metal Hearth Strips

Included with your fireplace you will find two 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 9. These metal strips should extend from the front

and sides of the fireplace opening by 2.

3. Level 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.
