In  planning  the  installation  for  the  firebox,  it  is  necessary  to 

determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional 

accessories are desired. gas supply piping should also be planned 

at this time.

A gas shut off must be in this line.

The firebox can be mounted on any of these surfaces:

1.  A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.

2.  a  raised  platform  of  combustible  or  non-combustible 

material.

3.  Recessed into the floor as illustrated by

is made on all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit 

(example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks).

if  the  firebox  is  installed  directly  on  carpeting,  tile  or  other 

combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed 

on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of 

the unit.
at this point, you should have decided what components to include 

in your installation, and where the firebox is to be located. If this 

has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance with 

this planning.
