Nailing Flange Assembly and Installation
1. Remove (4) nailing flanges from the sides of the fireplace (as shipped).
2. Align the nailing flanges with the holes on outside corners of fireplace, with the stand-off flange facing away from the
appliance. Secure with the screws (provided in components packet) through slots in nailing flanges.
3. Bend perforation on nailing flange until parallel with fireplace face. Do not bend toward fireplace face.
4. Position framing stud against stand-off (located on the backside of nailing flange). Secure with nails or screws.
NOTE
Depending on facing material, tabs can be adjusted forward or backward up to 1/2 in. (13 mm).
When installed, the nailing flanges provide the minimum 2-1/2 in. (64 mm) clearance from the sides of the fireplace.
