INSTALLATION OF

1) Assemble 3 Nailing Strip Spacer Plates
to the left and the right Nailing Strips as
shown below.
Left Nailing Strip
2) Mount Nailing Strips left, right and top to the
positions indicated below.
Right Nailing Strip
NOTE:
Nailing Strips are adjustable to allow for correct
offset from the front of the fireplace for your
current application.
There are two adjustments to allow for maxi-
mum offset (1" , 25mm recessed from front of
fireplace or 1.25", 32mm extending past front
of fireplace). The Nailing Strip Spacers can be
adjusted by loosening the two screws securing
them to the Nailing Strips. The Nailing Strips can
also be moved forward and back by adjusting
the screws that mount them to the fireplace.

FIREPLACE
ENCLOSURE FRAMING
As per the diagram, the framing of the main
enclosure should not infringe on the area above
the fireplace to the ceiling level. The rear and
side walls as well as the face above the fireplace
must not extend into the area above the unit.
The only structure allowed above the unit is on
the stand-offs at the front of the unit supporting
the header.

Spacer Plates
The enclosure walls can be framed using any
suitable material (2x4 - 2x6 studs, plywood,

gyproc, etc.), Normally, framing will be set
back to allow Non-Combustible Material to
be flush with the front of the fireplace.

There is framing only on the front of the unit.
When framing in the header (directly above
the fireplace) DO NOT bring any combustible
material lower than the top of the stand-offs.
Framing header may be positioned on end
directly on top of the front fireplace stand-offs.
Be sure to seal the space between the fireplace
and the enclosure above and on either side of
the unit with Wonderboard, Durock or other
similar non-combustible sheeting to prevent hot
air from entering the enclosure.

ONLY.
Note: If the fireplace is being cantilevered
through an outside wall, the entire
enclosure (floor, wall and false
ceiling) up to the first ceiling level
must be completely insulated and
vapor sealed and sheathed, to avoid
transfer of cold air through the
fireplace when not in use.
UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS
To accommodate varying thicknesses and
finishes of hearth materials, we have increased
the overall height of the appliance by a further 1
1/8". This increase is added with the inclusion of
two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the
outer box, taking the overall height of the framing
dimensions from 50-3/4" up to 51-7/8".
In the event that you should choose to use thinner
materials to finish the hearth, you can omit the
stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However,
we recommend that you leave the framing
dimensions as they are in the manual and alter
only the facing requirement by reducing it by the
same distance that you have lowered the unit.
Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the
unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the
stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 2-1/2 feet
apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.
