Empire Comfort Systems DVX42DP31P-3 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual page 14

Attention: When fireplace is installed in optional full cabinet mantel
or corner mantel the four nailing flanges shown in Figure 10 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.
CAUTION: 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 fireplace. After installing fireplace into
framing, the finished non-combustible wall surface must
cover the six inch opening above the fireplace.
Attention: Appliance must not be recessed below any flooring,
including carpeting, for proper front mounting. A metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance may be required
to raise the unit to the same level, or above existing flooring. The
vertical dimension in Figure 14 must be adjusted when a panel is
placed beneath the appliance.

Attention: Add 3-3/4" to "A" dimensions when using a flush mantel
base.
WARNING: If a base is not used and the appliance is installed
directly on 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
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.
The black fireplace front must not be covered. It must be flush
to the finished wall.
WARNING: 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.
CAUTION: If the joints between the finished wall and the fire-
place surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum seal-
ant material must be used. These joints are not required to be
sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum
adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace.
