FRAMING
If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other than
ceramic), or any combustible material other than wood flooring, the
fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the fireplace.
Construct framing using dimensions shown in Figures 6, 7, and 8,
depending on your particular installation.
Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, the ember protector
(provided) must be placed between hearth extensions (not sup-
plied), and bottom front edge of the fireplace to protect against
glowing embers (see Figure 9, page 6). If the fireplace is to be
installed on a raised platform, a "Z"-type ember protector (not
supplied) must be fabricated to fit your required platform height (see
Figure 8). The ember protector should be made of 28 gauge
minimum, galvanized sheet metal to prevent corrosion.
