Framing
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set
in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall
covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing
should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing
headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs.
Refer to Figure 13
for minimum framing dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY
FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE
FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Framing dimension "A" includes a 12 in. (304 mm)
clearance for standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox
into framing, the finished wall surface must cover the
12 in. (304mm) opening above the firebox. Board provided
with fireplace.
ATTENTION:
If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is
installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other
than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical
dimension in
Figure 13
must be adjusted when a metal or wood
panel is placed beneath the appliance.
CAUTION:
If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace
surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed.
Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if
needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.
