3.5 Wall Enclosure Rough Opening
WARNING: Provide adequate clearance in front of the fireplace for
barrier removal, component access, gas line installation, service
access, etc.
NOTE: The construction of the fireplace wall enclosure must comply
with local building codes and all clearances as outlined in this manual.
NOTE: Cold air transfer area. The fireplace wall enclosure should be
constructed in a manner to prevent cold air from entering the room
and outside walls should be insulated.
FIRE HAZARD: Do NOT install this appliance directly on carpeting,
vinyl, or any other combustible material other than wood.
•
Framing dimensions should allow for wall covering thickness
and fireplace facing materials. Adjust rough opening size as
necessary to maintain minimum clearance requirements.
•
The bottom of the fireplace must be placed directly on a wood or
non-combustible surface (not linoleum or carpet). If the fireplace
is to be installed above floor level, a solid, continuous platform
must be constructed below the fireplace.
•
This fireplace may be elevated off the floor as shown below,
provided it is properly supported by framing materials and
maintains ceiling clearances.
•
If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary
foundation for the masonry load. A lintel must be used over
the top of the appliance to support the additional weight of
masonry construction.
•
If installing the Komfort Zone Kit (#KZK-072), please reference
the manual included with kit.
•
If installing a heat transfer kit(s), please reference the manual
included with the kit.
