FRAMING
Construct framing using dimensions shown if
Figures 6, 7 and 8. (Use the gure applicable to
your application.) Figure 6 shows the framing
dimensions prior to having the appliance in place.
Once the unit has been tted, bring studs in against
nailing anges located on the side of the appliance
making sure a 1" clearance is maintained as shown
in Figure 7.
If the replace is to be installed directly on carpet-
ing, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible
material other than wood ooring the replace
must be installed upon a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the replace

fully supported.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION
A 6", B-1 type gas vent pipe is a double-wall, vent-
ing system (not supplied) which must be installed
during rough framing of the appliance. Any B-1
type gas vent system may be used for proper vent-
ing as long as the vent system is installed per the
vent manufacturer’s recommendations.
FMI PRODUCTS,LLC supplies this appliance with
a tapered starter pipe for a snug t. Slide B-1 type
vent pipe over this starter pipe until vent pipe is
fully seated. Secure this rst section of B-vent
pipe by strapping the connector around the vent
pipe and then tightening the strap (not supplied)
with any 1/8" nut and bolt (see Figure 9). Note:
Visually inspect for proper vent connection by
looking inside top of appliance. If connection
does not appear to be correct, contact your local
service technician.
