Figure 11
Attention: If a base is not used and the appliance is installed directly
on tile or other combustible material other than wood ooring, it
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 11
must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath
the appliance.
Finishing (Figures 12 and 13)
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on
page 8 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum
horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections
above the top front edge of the replace.
The black replace front must not be covered. It must be ush
to the nished wall.
Warning: When nishing the replace 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 nished wall and the replace
surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
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 replace.

Framing (Figure 11)
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the replace is set in
place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering
and replace facing material. The replace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the replace standoffs. Refer to Figure 11 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 replace. After installing replace into
framing, the nished non-combustible wall surface must
cover the six inch opening above the replace.
Attention: Appliance must not be recessed below any ooring,
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
ooring. The vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted
when a panel is placed beneath the appliance.
