6. Move the cabinet into the chase and fasten the
trim panels to the chase framing.
NOTE: The chase floor must be the same height as
the hearth and must provide uninterrupted support.
Push the cabinet carefully into the chase opening until
the ends of the upper trim panel and the outer edges of
the side panels rest against the studs forming the front
of the chase. IMPORTANT: If the cabinet does not
slide easily into position, DO NOT force it; doing so
could damage the “standoffs” that ensure adequate
clearance from combustibles. Instead, double-check
your framed chase dimensions before proceeding to
make sure you have allowed enough clearance.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
a. Attach the upper trim panel. Refer to the
combustible limits illustration and the required
dimensions, and locate one hole through each end
of the upper panel into the studding behind. Make
sure the holes are located outside the combustible
limits where they will be hidden by wall covering or
additional facing material. Drill the holes, check
carefully for square one last time, and secure the
panels with drywall screws driven home to make
flush with surface.
b. Attach the side panels. Drill 2 holes in each side
panel, also outside the combustible limit, and
secure the panels to the studding with additional
drywall screws.
NOTE: Drywall or other combustible wall covering
applied to overlap the outer edge of the trim panels
MUST NOT extend inside the combustible limits.
These limits also apply to any combustible edge
molding used to trim the raw edge of the drywall.
In addition, combustible edge molding must not
protrude into the room more than 2” (51mm) from the
panel surface.

Fig. 44 Make sure you secure the ends of the upper trim
panels to studding located outside the combustible limits.
c. After the cabinet has been installed to its proper
depth, check all standoffs once again for proper
clearance. Screw the cabinet to the floor through
the eight drilled holes with eight of the #10 Phillips
pan head sheet metal screws provided.
d. Connect the electric service cable to the cabinet’s
junction box if the wiring has not previously been
completed. (NOTE: Since the cabinet’s junction box
is removable, the wiring can be done outside the
cabinet either before the cabinet arrives or after it
has been installed.)
Remove the cover plate from the junction box in the
cabinet. Pull the electric service cable (and the switch
cable if installing the optional Cabinet Convection
Blower Kit) into the cabinet junction box and wire the
junction box as shown in the illustration below.
Figure 45 shows the required wiring for an installation
using the optional cabinet convection blower kit. If your
installation does not use the optional blower, ONLY the
upper receptacle will be live.
Secure and tighten the strain relief.
