A steel framing plate is included with your Q2LI / Q2LID. The plate does not come installed on the unit
but it attaches very easily with a 1/4” hex driver as shown below. This plate is used as a supportive
surface to fill in the air gap above the unit in the installation construction. Non combustible material
can be placed over this plate such a cement board. Non combustible material is only necessary over the
fireplace opening and does not need to span the entire width of the framing plate. A wood mantle can we
placed over top of the non-combustible as long as it stays within the mantle specicifactions.
Remove these two existing
machine screws from the top of the
cabinet. Place the metal framing
plate on top of the unit and
replace these screws in the same
hole they were removed from.
Steel framing plate
Use this nailing flange set if you
need to create a second layer
of facing material such as tile
or stone. Bend out the flange by
by hand in order to use.
