Installation Guide

Page 8
The base for the Model 51ZC must be level with or slightly higher than the “finished” hearth height di-
mension (A) Figure 6.
Framing must be accomplished after the Model 51ZC is set in place. The chimney can be installed after
framing, but installation is considerably more difficult and in some cases, impossible. Therefore, it is
recommended that the chimney be installed prior to framing when a choice exists.
Figure 5 on the previous page shows framing location examples with depth dimensions for some typical
configurations. These are finished measurements so install accordingly.
NOTE: Before framing, combustible floor coverings (carpets, tiles, etc.) must be removed to outer
dimensions of the unit framing, including the 16" x 37 1/2" area for the hearth extension.
1-A. Safety spark shield is provided for underneath
hearth extension and to be used in installation . Place
shield flat on the floor. Place (3") three inches of
safety shield under the ZC Cabinet. Place hearth
protector on top of safety shield.
