Turn tabs down and secure to the floor with
8d nails or other appropriate fasteners
on all sides of the unit which do not have
viewing glass panels.
Note: The nailing flanges, combustible members and screw heads located in areas directly adjacent to the nailing
flanges, are EXEMPT from the 1/2" clearance to combustible requirements for the firebox outer wrapper.
Combustible framing may be in direct contact with the nailing flanges and may be located closer than 1/2" from
screw heads and the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent to the nailing flanges. Frame the opening to the exact
dimensions specified in the framing details of this manual.

Before proceeding it may be helpful to remove

compartment. Refer to the following steps:
1. Remove the front glass enclosure panel
(see Removing and Installing Glass Enclosure
Panels on Page 36).
2. Remove log set box from firebox. Next,
remove embers and volcanic stone from con-
trol compartment. Handle logs carefully to
prevent breakage.

Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figures
12 (DRT40ST), 13 (DRT40PF), 14 (DRT40CL)
or 15 (DRT40CR). All framing details must
allow for a minimum clearance to combustible
framing members as shown in Table 5 on Page
11. If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed. Headers may be in direct contact
with the appliance top spacers but must not
be supported by them or notched to fit around
them. All construction above the appliance must
be self supporting, DO NOT use the appliance
for structural support.
Side Nailing Flanges
The fireplace should be secured to the framing
at the side(s) and/or rear of the unit using the
factory-provided nailing flanges. Install the nailing
flanges - 8 (DRT40ST), 4 (DRT40PF, DRT40CL
and DRT40CR) - as shown in Figure 11 using
the existing screws.
Position the fireplace within the framing. When
required, the flanges may be bent 90 degrees by
hand or with the assistance of a hammer. Use
wood screws to secure the nailing flanges to
the framing. See Table 5 on Page 11 for clear-
ances of framing members to cabinet parts in
the nailing flange area. The nailing flange itself
is exempt from these clearances.
Floor Nailing Tabs
Secure the fireplace to the floor as shown in
Figure 11.
