NOTE
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around
your appliance, and wherever cold air could enter the
room, with noncombustible material. It is especially
important to insulate the outside chase cavity
between the studs and under the floor on which the
appliance rests, if the floor is above ground level.
FIREPLACE FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Refer to Figure 2 for firebox dimensions
and framing. Construct firebox framing following
Figure
2
for your specific installation requirements. The framing
headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor
or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When
the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the enclosure.
NOTE:
Refer to cold climate pilot information on Page 43
for more information on standing pilot vs. intermittent pilot
options.
Do not fill spaces around firebox with insulation or other
materials. This could cause a fire.
