Step 1. FRAMING

Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figure
14 on Page 11, unless the appliance is to be
installed in a corner. See Figure 15 on Page
12 for corner framing installations. All framing
details must allow for a minimum clearance to
combustible framing members as shown in
Table 8 on Page 9.
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 sup-
ported 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.
The fireplace should be secured to the side framing
members using the unit's nailing flanges - one top
and bottom on each side of the fireplace front. See
Figure 12. Use 8d nails or their equivalent.

STEP 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside
of the right side framing as shown in Tables.
Gas lines must be routed, constructed and made
of materials that are in strict accordance with
local codes and regulations. All appliances are
factory-equipped with a flexible gas line con-
nector and 1/2 inch shutoff valve. (See Step 6
on Page 26).
