WARNING
Facing and/or finishing
material must never
overhang into the fireplace
opening.
Do not distort or force the frame
kit components.
When using a rough finish
material (i.e.; stone), maintain a
¼” - ½” border from the framing
components.

The Madison can be installed with either an arched opening
(FK80-A) or a rectangular opening (FK80-R) using one of
the above kits.
The framing kits serve two purposes. They are necessary if
optional doors (DK80) are to be installed.
Secondly, they act as a reference when finishing to the fire-
place opening.
The FK80 is designed to accomodate 1/2” to 1 1/2” finishing
material. They are adjustable to ensure doors open fully .
If finishing material is thicker than 1 1/2”, an optional exten-
sion kit is available (EK80).
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4's and frame to local build-
ing codes.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it
is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
For convenience, the stand-offs have been shipped flat.
Before framing, ensure the stand-offs are opened and
screwed in place.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the fire-
place should be raised to be flush with either the hearth or
the finished floor.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to ac-
commodate for the thickness of the finished floor materials,
i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will
interfere with the removal of the hearth strip, which must be
removed to access the firebox.
Objects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a
minimum of 48" away from the front face.
IMPORTANT:
The Madison requires a
minimum inside enclosure
height of 72”.
For temperature require-
ments, this area must be left
unobstructed.
It is recommended that the
enclosure be ventilated at
the top and bottom to circu-
late the hot air.
Non-combus-
tible finishing
material (ie: ce-
ment board,
brick, stone,
tile) may be
used to finish
the front of the
unit.
