Framing
The President ZC Front comes supplied
with a framing plate for zero clearance
applications. The framing plate is
painted black and may be left exposed
beyond the perimeter of the cast iron
front or may be covered with non-
combustible material if desired.
• A non-combustible hearth is not
necessary in front of this appliance.
• The appliance is approved to install
directly on wood sub-fl ooring.
• Any framing construction must be
clear of stand-off s.
• Be aware that the area of 7½” x 26¼”
(19 cm x 67 cm) immediately above
the framing plate must be constructed
with non-combustible materials as
shown in fi gures.
