Installation Planning

Appliance Height in Framing

Hearth considerations
• Only a non-combustible hearth can be installed in
front of the appliance if within 4" of the bottom of the
appliance.
• The top surface of the non-combustible hearth must
be at the same level as appliance bottom panel
when using certain trims and accessories—see
page 48.
• The non-combustible hearth in front of the
appliance, if within 4" of the bottom of the appliance,
must include the 1/2" Micore insulation board
provided to be used as thermal break between non-
combustible and combustible material underneath.

Appliance Depth in Framing

• 1430 Fixed Framing Kit installs at framing stage
and the appliance position is fi xed in the framing.
Wall fi nishes butt up to the frame of the 1430 Fixed
Framing Kit.
• All other trims install after the wall fi nish is applied.
The perimeter of the trims overlap the wall fi nish;
therefore the thickness of any wall fi nish materials
must be taken into consideration. The trims have
enough adjustability to allow up to 3/4" thick material
applied over top of the 1/2" thick non-combustible
board. Otherwise the appliance position within the
framing must be adjusted to allow the additional
thickness—see page 47.
