Installation and Operation Manual - FP12 Mundo II
ENGLISH
Do not use combustible materials for the frame directly above the fireplace. This area
should remain empty to a height of 76" (1.93 m) measured from the base of the fireplace.
Build the fireplace frame using vertical studs placed on the
sides of the fireplace, from the floor to the ceiling. The studs
must be set back from the front edge of the fireplace by a
space equivalent to the thickness of the finishing material,
so that it is flush with the finish of the fireplace.
Headers between studs should be installed as follows:
− The headers must be 2» x 3» (5 cm x 8 cm) or 2» x 4» (5 cm x
10 cm). Do not put wood or other material in the area above
the fireplace.
− Install only the cripple studs needed to support the finishing
material and mantle.
WARNING : DO NOT FILL THE REQUIRED EMPTY
SPACE INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE WITH INSULATION
OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL.
The fireplace must not be in contact with any insulation or
loose filling material. Inside the chase, around the fireplace,
insulation should be covered with drywall panels or any
other finishing material except where non-combustible
material is required.
