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 framing header should be installed on
edge to provide required airspace clearance to venting. The framing
headers may rest on the top standoff spacers. Refer to Figure 8 for
framing dimensions.
To begin, remove the glass doors by releasing the two spring
latches at the top and 2 spring latches at the bottom of each door
frame. Check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit.
Take a moment to plan out the gas, venting and electrical route. It
is best to start with the gas line first, followed by the vent system
and electrical supply requirements.
This fireplace requires no hearth extension. Combustible material
on the floor may be installed up to the fireplace.
Install the fireplace without the Surround panels attached and make
all gas, venting and electrical connections.
To complete the installation, install the Surround panel assemblies.
Refer to the instructions included with the surround panel kit to
install properly.
Framing and Finishing
1.
Choose unit location.
2.
Frame out opening for fireplace as shown in Figures 8 through
10.
3.
The fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical
dimensions must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is
placed beneath the appliance.
4.
Install the side framing brackets (4 per side) using the pilot
holes provided behind the side flanges on the fireplace outer
wrap.
5.
Secure the unit to the wall opening with common screw type
fasteners.
6.
Maintain combustible clearances as shown by Figures 11
through 14.
Note: A combustible header may rest on top of the standoff spacers.
Screws may be installed through the top of the standoff spacers
and into the header to add stability of the spacer if desired.
7.
Noncombustible headers may be used above the fireplace to
maintain structural integrity, providing sufficient backing for
noncombustible finishing
8.
The finished wall surface materials must be non-combustible
for a distance of at least 6" above the top of the fireplace outer
cabinet.
