and components installed and pre-wired.
Before installing the appliance, follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton.
2. Remove the shipping pad, exposing the front
glass door.
3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unfasten the two

DETAILED INSTALLATION STEPS
Step 1. FRAMING
Frame these appliances as illustrated in
Figure
8 on Page 10, unless the appliance is to be
installed in a corner. See Figure 9 on Page 11
for corner framing installations. All framing
details must allow for a minimum clearance
to combustible framing members as shown in
Table 5 on Page 8.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed below the appliance.
Headers may be in direct contact with the ap-
pliance top spacers but must not be supported
by them or notched to fit around them.
The fireplace should be secured to the side fram
-
ing members using the unit nailing flanges - one
top and bottom on each side of the fireplace front
(see Figure 7). Use 8d nails or their equivalent.

Flanges to the Framing
Note: The nailing flanges, combustible members
and screw heads located in areas directly adjacent
to the nailing flanges, are EXEMPT from the 1/2”.
clearance to combustible requirements for the
firebox outer wrapper. Combustible framing may be
in direct contact with the nailing flanges and may
be located closer than 1/2” from screw heads and
the firebox wrapper in areas adjacent to the nailing
flanges. Frame the opening to the exact dimensions
specified in the framing details of this manual.
