Step 1. FRAMING
Frame these appliances as illustrated in Figure
9, unless the appliance is to be installed in a
corner.
See Figure 10 for corner framing installations.
All framing details must allow for a minimum
clearance to combustible framing members as
shown in Table 6 on Page 6.
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.
The fireplace should be secured to the side fram-
ing members using the unit's nailing flanges on
each side of the fireplace front. See Figure 8.
Use 8d nails or their equivalent.
Use Top Flange For
5/8" Thick Drywall
Use Center Flange For
1/2" Thick Drywall
Use Bottom Flange
For Flush Mount

* D shown here is not
dimensioned to the vertical

the vent. This does not

include the suggested 1/4"
rise per foot for horizontal
runs.
** With the facade installed
(required - sold sepa-
rately), the appliance base
will need to be elevated a
minimum of /4" above the
floor to allow for the proper
fit of the facade (i.e. use
/4" board minimum as
platform).
