Flush Mount Mantel Installation (Figure 11)
The fireplace must extend 3/4" beyond finished wall surface when
using a flush mount mantel. Refer to Figure 11 to locate nailing
flanges on fireplace sides. Mark and drill two (2) 1/8" holes into
fireplace side to mount each nailing flange. Use eight (8) 1/2" hex-
head screws supplied in hardware package to attach nailing flanges
to fireplace sides.

Attention: When fireplace is installed in optional full cabinet mantel
or corner mantel the (4) four nailing flanges shown in Figure 11 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 (2) two
nailing flanges located on the top of the outer casing assembly.
Framing (Figure 12)
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 12 for minimum
framing dimensions.
MEASURE FIREpLACE DIMENSIONS AND vERIFY FRAMING
METHODS, AND WALL COvERING DETAILS BEFORE

for standoffs on fireplace. After installing fireplace into
framing, the finished non-combustible wall surface must
