Framing
This appliance is designed to be recessed into combus
-
tible framing with non-combustible material pre-installed
on top and side. Drywall or combustible materials (mini
-
mum 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick) are designed to contact the
non-combustible material/appliance as called out in Sec
-
tion 10 Finishing.
This appliance has been thoroughly tested to minimize
drywall cracking and/or the protrusion of screws “screw
pops" when framed as shown above.
Framing should be done in a manner similar to framing
a window or door: double - 2 x 4 / 2 x 6 (610 x 1219
mm / 610 x 1829 mm) as a Header for horizontal strength
and untilizing Jack or Trimmer Stud fastened to the King
Studs for vertical strength.
If elevating the appliance, the base of the unit should also
be constructed in a similar manner to prevent settling.
Note: Refer to Section 10 for important information
related to facing, drywall specifications and decorative
front information.
