FRAMING
1. Frame opening for fireplace using dimensions shown in Figures 2
and 3.
2. The fireplace may not be installed on carpeting, tile or any combustible
material other than wood flooring, fireplace must be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending full width and depth of fireplace. (It is
acceptable to cover two outside ends or columns of top louver panel
leaving four center columns open).
3. Set fireplace directly in front of this opening and slide unit back until
nailing flanges touch side framing.
4. Check level of fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, metal ember protector
(provided) must be placed between hearth extension (not supplied)
and under bottom front edge of fireplace to protect against glowing
embers falling through. If fireplace is to be installed on a raised plat-
form, a Z-type ember protector (not supplied) must be fabricated to fit
your required platform height. Ember protector should extend under
fireplace a minimum of 1-1/2". The ember protector should be made
of metal material.
