SECURE FIREPLACE TO FLOOR OR
FRAMING
The fireplace must be secured to the floor and/or to framing
studs as shown in Figure 10. Use two (2) wood screws or
masonry/concrete screws to secure fireplace to the floor.
Use four (4) screws to attach fireplace to framing. The side
nailing flanges are
thickness.

FINISHING MATERIAL

NOTE: Any wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and
optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to avoid
costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel,
or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F
minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials
to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall
and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent)
must be used.
