C. Securing and Leveling the Appliance
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with:
• Sagging or loose insulation
• Insulation backing or plastic
• Framing and other combustible materials
Block openings into the chase to prevent entry of blown-
in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials
are secured.
DO NOT notch the framing around the appliance
standoffs. Failure to maintain air space clearance could
cause overheating and fire.
To properly position, level, and secure the appliance, see
below. Nailing tabs are provided to secure the appliance
to the framing members.
• Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side.
• Place the appliance into position.
• Keep nailing tabs flush with the framing. See Figure 6.5.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
• Shim the appliance as necessary. It is acceptable to use
wood shims underneath the appliance.
• Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or
screws through the nailing tabs.
Some figures in manual show the fireplace installed on the
floor. However, this fireplace can be elevated off the floor
provided that the fireplace is properly supported by framing
materials and the ceiling clearances are maintained.

Setting the Fireplace into the Framing
The left and right nailing tabs were designed as a means
to ensure the fireplace is mounted flush with the framing
materials. See Figures 6.5-6.7.
1. The shipping flanges protrude further out from the ap-
pliance than the side standoffs. The shipping flange
may be bent upward or broken off in order to place the
appliance into position in the framing.
2. Bend out all nailing tabs. The see-through model will
have eight nailing tabs. The single-sided model will
have four nailing tabs.
3. Screw each nailing tab to the adjoining framing
material. Ensure that the one inch air space clearance
is maintained on the sides and back of the fireplace.
See Figures 3.8-3.11 for framing and clearance details.
