Easy installation A simple, step-by-step procedure that any experi- enced do-it-yourselfer can follow is offered by Preway, Inc., manufacturers of energy conserving, heat cirr culating built-in fireplaces. In addition to bringing many hours of pleasure, Preway's new Energy Mizer fireplace 'can help reduce your heating bills by provid- ing a supplementary source of heat. Rather than steal warm room air for combustion, the innovative Energy Mizer uses outside air for combus- tion, and also re-heats and re-circulates room air for added energy savings. Before beginning, you should determine where you want the fireplace to be lo- cated. To do this, consider traffic patterns, window and door placement, and existing construction features. Choose location carefully Keep in mind that it's best to select a location where the chimney can be installed without cutting rafters or ceiling joists. Also remember that the fireplace opening must be kept at least 30" away from a perpendicular wall of combustible material. How- ever, the back, sides and bot- tom of the fireplace can touch combustible materials with zero clearance de- sign. When the final location is chosen, layout the dimension required on the floor. Posi- tion fireplace and then, using a plumb bob, align the chim- ney pipe and mark the cor- rect opening for the chimney on the ceiling. Cut out this ceiling area with a keyhole saw, taking care to avoid cut- ting any wiring or plumbing above the ceiling, Position the first section of triple wall pipe on top of the fireplace. Then add sections as you continue towards the ceiling, rotating each section until seams are aligned. Frame around the fireplace sides and over top, up to ceil- ing as you go. When the roof has been reached, cut required open- ing for chimney and install flashing, storm collar and rain cap above roof. Remember, the finished chimney must be at least 3' above the roof cutout, and at least 2' above the highest point of roof within 10' of the chimney. ' Duct site important Back at the fireplace, select outside air duct loca- tions for the Energy Mizer, keeping in mind that these ducts must terminate outside the home so that air is not taken from attic space, above roof, or from any room, es- pecially a garage. When you have located outlet positions, cut 61/4 " diameter holes for the corn- bustion air ducts. Next, se- cure the combustion air el • - bows to fireplace, making certain that the first elbow is in a downward position. Next, connect the duct to the elbows. Push duct through the wall or floor from outside,elbow. and secure to the duct that is attached to the Then, don't forget4lfailh extension, a very in:iportani i safety, feature to :gam' against sparks and falling logs.

Also be certain that the mantel is at least 12" above the fireplaCe and that the air openings at the bottom and top of the fireplace are not blocked.
