B. Framing and Finishing Instructions
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as specifi ed. Framing closer than the
minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncom-
bustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.).
Finishing Instructions
It is important to follow the framing and fi nishing instruc-
tions to ensure proper placement of fi replace into the sur-
rounding framing/fi nishing materials.
Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are specifi ed in this
installation manual to properly align with the factory-in-
stalled non-combustible material.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove the factory-
installed non-combustible board or cover it with combus-
tible material, such as:
• Drywall (gypsum board)
• Plywood
• Materials that do not meet the ASTM E 136 Non-com-
bustibility standard (below).
Removal of factory-installed, non-combustible board and/
or use of materials not meeting the ASTM E 136 standard
may cause fi re.
Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing
ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC
and
UL763
shall be
considered non-combustible materials.
Setting the Fireplace into the Framing
The left and right nailing tabs were designed as a means
to ensure the fi replace is mounted fl ush with the framing
materials.
Bend out all four nailing tabs. Screw each nailing tab to
the adjoining framing material. Ensure that the one inch
air space clearance is maintained on the sides and back
of the fi replace. See Figure 13.1 and Figure 13.2.

A. Splatter Guard
The splatter guard is a piece of corrugated material used
to protect the appliance during the installation process
before fi nishing work on the whole hearth is complete.

Splatter guards must be removed before appliance is
fi red.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Remove the splatter guard be-
fore lighting the appliance. Shut off gas to the appliance
