3.0 FRAMING
3.1 Appliance Placement
Considerations
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• This appliance must be installed on a level surface capable
of supporting the fireplace and venting. If possible, place the
fireplace in a position where the vent terminates between two
studs, eliminating the need for any additional framing.
• This fireplace may be installed in a bedroom.
• Please be aware of the large amount of heat this fireplace will
produce when determining a location.
3.2 Stand-off Assembly and Installation
WARNING: The top stand-offs brackets provide the required
minimum clearance to the header. The 1 in (25mm) top
stand-off flange accommodates 1/2 in (12mm) combustible
facing material (sheetrock). The clearance to header must be
maintained.
Top stand-off brackets must be formed and attached prior to
positioning fireplace into framed opening.
1. Remove and save (2) screws securing the stand-off brackets
on top of the fireplace.
2. Form each stand-off bracket by bending at perforations, as
shown.
3. Align the holes in the formed stand-off brackets with the
holes on top of the fireplace. Secure with (2) screws
previously removed.
