DFX & DBX Series Vent Free Fireplaces
If unit is to be “built in”, fireplace framing can be built before
or after the appliance is set in place.
Construct fireplace framing following
for fireplace dimensions. The framing
headers may rest directly on top of the firebox.
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible
floor or a raised platform of an appropriate height. Do
not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or other soft
floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood,
plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure
fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with
appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can
enter from under the firebox.
Anchor fireplace to the side framing members using nail-
ing flanges.
