Framing
Montigo recommends that framing is performed once the unit has been
placed in its final location.
STEP 1:
Frame around the fireplace as desired. Framing can be installed on
all sides of the fireplace, or only on the top and sides if a thinner finishing
material will be used. Ensure access is left for connections of gas, electrical
and venting as required.
STEP 2:
Complete all venting, gas, and electrical connections.
STEP 3:
Backframe the unit with framing materials followed by finishing
materials as required. Ensure access for service as required.
STEP 4:
Refer to Section 5: Finishing.
There are flanges on the outer edges of the Prodigy series fireplace that
may be used to install framing around the fireplace. The use of these
flanges is entirely optional; they are provided to simplify installation,
and if they are not needed, they may be ignored.
