3.0 FRAMING
3.1 Installation Planning
This appliance offers several design options for managing the heat
produced by this fireplace.
Read all documentation for your specific installation
and design options prior to appliance installation.
It is required to install a wall switch, remote, or thermostat in a
convenient location for ease of operation.
•
Installation of an external on/off switch or dimmer switch is
required for operational control of the electrical power supply
to the #600-TLKMV light kit. Consult your qualified electrician
for the best method to accomplish this, especially if installing
in combination with the optional fan kit #SL42-028MV. Refer to
section 9.2, #600-TLKMV LIGHT KIT (PAGE 56) and section
9.3, #SL42-028MV OPTIONAL FAN KIT (page 57).
•
Standard Installation will be outlined in this manual in sections
marked 'standard installation' and must be followed if no design
options (vented cavity, Heat Transfer Kits, and Komfort Zone Kit) are
to be used.
•
Heat Transfer Kit(s) allows you to transfer heat to a specific area
inside your home (interior) or directly outside (exterior). This
appliance can have (2) heat transfer kits installed at the same
time. It can be up to two of the same heat transfer kits, or a
combination of interior and exterior kits. See the HTK-EXT and/
or HTK-INT manuals for further information.
If you are planning an installation with the use of an exterior
and/or interior kit without the use of the vented cavity
option or Komfort Zone Kit, the minimum dimensions listed in
section 3.5, ROUGH FRAMING on page 15 will apply for your
framing installation. Since a vented cavity option or Komfort
Zone Kit is not applied, the facing and finishing requirements
in section 4.1 (page 31) must be followed. You will still
need to remove the cover plates as instructed in section 3.7.1
on page 20.
•
Vented Cavity offers the option to leave a minimum sized
opening in the fireplace cavity, allowing for heat reduction above
the fireplace. This option allows for combustible facing materials
above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above the fireplace,
and lower mantel clearances.
All vented cavity options have different minimum chamber and
ceiling dimension requirements when compared to the standard
installation dimensions in this section.
and ceiling minimum height must be 76" (1930mm) for all
vented cavity options. Reference section 3.7.2 (page 21) and
section 4.5 on page 38.
•
Komfort Zone Kit offers the option to redistribute radiant heat
through plenum(s). This option allows for combustible facing
materials above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above
the fireplace, and lower mantel clearances. See section 3.7.2,
VENTED CAVITY AND KOMFORT ZONE KITS on page 21
and section 4.5, VENTED CAVITY AND KZK FACING AND
FINISHING REQUIREMENTS on page 38.
If installing a Komfort Zone Kit (#KZK-054 or #KZK-
1510A), please reference the manual included with your kit
before completing all fireplace framing and other installation
considerations.

supporting the fireplace and venting. Determine your vent
requirements before framing your appliance
•
This fireplace may be installed in a bedroom.

produce when determining a location.
3.1.2 Moving the Appliance
This appliance is heavy. We recommend a team lift when moving,
placing, and positioning the appliance.
On both sides of the appliance, there are lift handles that allow a
hand lift (no sharp edges), or allow a 2" x 4" piece of lumber to be
inserted inside the lift handles, as shown in FIGURE 3.1.
