FIREPLACE FRAMING

If unit is to be "built in", fi replace framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. BE SURE THAT ALL
PACKING MATERIAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE UNIT PRIOR TO SETTING
THE FIREBOX IN PLACE. Construct fi replace framing following Figures 11 through 14. Refer to Figure 2 on page 9
for fi replace dimensions. The framing headers may rest directly on top of the fi rebox.
The fi replace may be installed directly on a combustible fl oor or a raised platform of an appropriate height. Do not place
fi replace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or other soft fl oor coverings. It may, however, be placed on fl at wood, plywood, particle
board or other hard surfaces. Be sure fi replace rests on a solid continuous fl oor or platform with appropriate framing for
support and so that no cold air can enter from under the fi rebox.
Anchor fi replace to the side framing members using optional nailing fl ange kit. See installation instructions included
with the kit.
