FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
1. Frame opening for replace using dimen-
sions shown in Figures 4 and 5.
2. If replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
ooring, replace must be installed upon
a metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of replace.
3. Set replace directly in front of this open-
ing and slide unit back until nailing anges
touch side framing.
4. Check level of the replace and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared
framing, ember protector (provided) must
be placed between hearth extension (not
supplied) and under bottom front edge of
replace to protect against glowing embers
falling through. If replace is to be installed
on a raised platform, a Z-type ember pro-
tector (not supplied) must be fabricated to
t your required platform height. Ember
protector should extend under replace a
minimum of 1

To determine the safest and most efcient
location for the replace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances (see Figures 4 and 5).
2. Consider a location where replace will
not be affected by drafts, air conditioning
ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or
roof rafters will make installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
replace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 8).
