When you install your fireplace as in position ‘B’, ‘D’ or ‘E’, a minimum of
6 inches (153mm) clearance must be maintained from the perpendicular
wall and the front of the appliance.
Framing Specifications
1. Cold climate installation recommendation: when installing this fireplace against non-insulated exterior wall or chase, it is recommended that the
outer walls be insulated to conform to applicable insulation codes. Drywall should be installed over insulation to prevent contact of insulation and
unit.
2. Choose fireplace location and frame in accordance with the fireplace dimensions specified (See framing diagrams). Bend nailing tabs forward on
left and right of unit and place fireplace into framed enclosure. This allows for 1/2” in front of framing tabs for finishing materials.
3. Drywall or other material can extend flush with the appliance on the bottom and sides of the fireplace.
4. Non-combustible materials such as brick and tile can be extended across the face of the fireplace. If wide brass trim kit is going to be installed,
brick and tile will have to be installed flush with the front of this appliance. If slim line brass trim kit is used, brick or tile may extend past the front
of unit.
