In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to
determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional
accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned
at this time. A gas shutoff must be installed in this line.
The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.
3. Four (4) corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four
perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fireplace Framing
Framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place.
Framing should be constructed to accommodate wall covering
and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the top standoff spacers. Refer to Figure 12 for framing
dimensions.
NOTICE: On Peninsula models, a maximum weight of 230 lbs. must
not be exceeded when construction materials are supported by the
top standoff spacers.
Peninsula Units - Framing can be built before or after the fireplace
is set in place.
See-Through Units - It is recommended that one side of the framing
width be completed after the unit is in place in order to be able to
slide the unit into the pre-framed opening. The side that the See-
Through Unit is to be installed into should be 43-1/2" wide. After
the See-Through Unit is slid into place, additional framing can be
added to the framed opening sides to end up with a 40" side-to-side
framed dimension.

If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the unit.
At this point, you should have decided what components to include
in your installation, and where the fireplace is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with this planning.
Accessory kits such as the FBB5 Blower kit, Trim kits, Mantels, plus
other Decorative Frame, Hood, and Door accessory kits may be
installed after the fireplace is secured to the framing.
Refer to the instructions provided with each of the optional accessory
kits for proper installation and operation.
