Construction Of Cladding; Fitting The Applied Ornamental Frame - Stuv 21 Installation Instructions Manual

Construction of cladding

When installing the cladding or the
construction around the stove, follow
the basic principles explained on
page 14 (preparing the hearth area).

Fitting the applied ornamental frame

As its name implies, this type of frame
is applied in front of the masonry ; it is
secured by a counter-frame linking the
hearth (behind the masonry) and the
frame (in front of the masonry). An
adequate-sized niche will have been
planned (see page 9).
2 types of counter-frames are
available from Stûv to fit various
thicknesses of surrounding masonry :
from 50 to 75 mm and from 75 to
125 mm
Using a small flat screwdriver, open
the 4 brackets on the front uprights
[photos 1 & 2].
Having bent the lug with the
screwdriver, position the screwdriver
behind the tongue piece to act as a
wedge and then use the hammer. You
will then achieve the final position
depicted here.
Measure the distance between
the face plane of masonry and the
front edge of the fireplace. This
measurement defines the depth of the
counter-frame [photo 3].
Using a 10 mm socket, lock counter-
frame at the required depth [photo 4].
Perform this in all 4 corners.
Hang on the counter-frame.
Pay attention not to fit upside-down
[diagram 5]. Adjust height of counter-
frame by bending the brackets as
required on the fireplace uprights.
Fit the ornamental frame
[photos 6 & 7]. Nuts and bolts are
fixed on the frame and will position
into the buttonholes (keyhole-shaped)
of the counter-frame.
