FRAmING
1. Frame the opening for the firebox using
the dimensions shown in Figures 6 and 7
depending on your installation.
2. If firebox is to be installed directly on
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any
combustible material other than wood
flooring, firebox must be installed upon a
metal or wood panel extending full width
and depth of firebox.
Figure 8 - Ember Protectors
3. Set firebox directly in front of opening and
slide unit back until nailing flanges touch
side framing.
4. Check the level of firebox and shim with
sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing firebox to prepared fram
-
ing, ember protector (provided) must be
placed between hearth extension (not
supplied) and under bottom front edge of
firebox to protect against glowing embers
(see Figure 8 and
Hearth Extensions
on
page 6). If firebox is to be installed on a
raised platform, a Z-type ember protector
(not supplied) must be fabricated to fit
your required platform height (see Figure
7). The ember protector should be made
of galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge mini
-
mum) to prevent corrosion.
6. Secure firebox to framing at nailing
flanges located on sides of firebox (see
Figure 9, page 6).
