Flush Mount Mantel Installation
The fireplace must extend 3/4" beyond finished wall surface when
using a flush mount mantel. Refer to Figure 13 to locate nailing
flanges on fireplace sides. Mark and drill two 1/8" holes into fireplace
side to mount each nailing flange. Use eight 1/2" hex-head screws
supplied in hardware package to attach nailing flanges to fireplace
sides.
NAIL OR OTHER
SUITABLE FASTENER
Attention: When fireplace is installed in optional full cabinet mantel
or corner mantel the four nailing flanges shown in Figure 13 will
not be installed on the side of outer casing. The fireplace will be
attached to the full cabinet mantel or corner mantel with the two
nailing flanges located on the top of the outer casing assembly.
Framing
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in
place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering
and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 14 for minimum
framing dimensions.
Measure fireplace dimensions and verify framing methods,
and wall covering details before framing construction begins.
Framing dimension "A" includes a six inch clearance for
standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox into framing,
the finished wall surface must cover the six inch opening
above the firebox.

Attention: Add 3-3/4" to "A" dimensions when using a flush mantel base.
If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed
directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
The vertical dimension in Figure 14 must be adjusted when
a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.
Finishing - See Figures 15 and 16
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 5 on page 10
shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal
dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the
top front edge of the fireplace.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black
fireplace front.
When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air
inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances
around air openings into the combustion chamber.
If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace sur-
round (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material must be used. These joints are not required to be
sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F mini-
mum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the
fireplace surround.
