INSTALLATION
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material (eg. drywall plus
ceramic tiles) to allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with the front
of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to
1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed
opening for the assembled kit is 47-1/2" high x 48-1/2" wide x 26-1/4"
deep (1207mm H x 1232mm W x 667mm D). See Diagram 1. See
important note below when installing with any veritical venting off of
the top.

When installing the unit with any vertical venting off the top of the
unit as shown, the minimum framing depth changes accordingly.

clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible
building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You
must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See
"Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the
side and back standoffs and the stove base.
The HeatWave Duct Kit has different
clearance and framing requirements,
check the HeatWave manual for details.
