Heat & Glo • RED60 • 2159-900 Rev. R • 9/12 67
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specied air space
clearances to combustibles.
Inadequate air space may cause overheating and re.
Ensure that the one inch back clearance and one inch
side clearances are maintained.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use screws longer
than two inches when attaching nishing materials to
non-combustible material. Screws longer than two inches
will compromise clearance and may cause overheating
and re.

CAUTION! Risk of Glass Damage and Cuts! DO NOT
drill or install any type of screw or fastener into the lower
cover panel. Sharp screw or fastener tips may penetrate
and break the glass or cause cuts.
The RED60 comes standard with a mesh front. The nal
replace installation can be accomplished by either the
“overlap” or “inside-t” method. Reference Section 13.D
regarding installation details associated with the Inside
and Overlap Fit methods.
If the nal replace installation uses the Overlap Method,
wall sheathing material 1/2 in thick is specied and can
be installed tight to the side nishing anges and factory-
supplied non-combustible board. If the nal replace in-
stallation uses the Inside-Fit Method, additional clearance
must be maintained between combustible 1/2 in. thick
wall sheathing material and the side nishing anges.
See Section 13.D regarding installation details associat-
ed with the Inside and Overlap Fit methods and specied
additional non-combustible materials required.
When nishing the wall around the replace, it is critical
that wall sheathing be fastened properly. Wall sheath-
ing fasteners, such as screws or nails, are not permitted
in some locations. See Figure 13.3. It is acceptable to
pre-drill holes and use self-tapped screws in the factory-
installed non-combustible board which may be used to
lathe (a backer for tile, marble, etc.) Screws being in-
stalled through the factory-installed non-combustible
board should be self-tapping type with a maximum length
of 2 inches. See Figure 13.1. Do not drill or install screws
which may penetrate the lower cover panel as this will
restrict required access to the glass and lower control
chamber. See Figure 13.1.
The appliance is designed to mate with 1/2 in. wall sheath-
ing materials such as drywall, plywood, wood composites,
or non-combustible materials. The type of material used
depends whether the installation is an Inside or Overlap
Fit method. Reference Section 13.D regarding installation
details associated with the Inside an Overlap Fit methods.
Verify that the lower cover panel is installed correctly,
and that there are no screws used to attach drywall to
the panel.
Note:It is acceptable to use a high temperature silicone
sealant to adhere drywall to lower cover panel.

FinishandSealingJoints
All joints between the nished wall sheathing and the ap-
pliance must be sealed with non-combustible materials.
Sealants, such as caulk or mastic used to seal the gap
between the wall and the replace, should be rated at a
minimum continuous exposure to 300ºF.
FinishingAroundOpeningwithGypsumWallboard
Gypsum wallboard (drywall) joints adjacent to the re-
place opening, including the non-combustible board on
the appliance, require special attention to minimize crack-
ing. When installing gypsum wallboard around the re-
place, install the hole for the replace opening in a single
wallboard sheet, if possible. This will minimize the joints
adjacent to the replace opening.
Tape wall board joints around the replace opening with
berglass-mesh tape. It will provide a more crack-re-
sistant joint than paper tape. Fill, smooth and nish wall
joints with chemically setting-type joint compound. It will
provide a more crack-resistant joint than air-drying light-
weight compound.
Painting
If desired nishing includes a painted wall, 100% acrylic
latex with compatible primer is recommended around this
appliance. Oil-based or standard acrylic paints may dis-
color due to heat exposure.
