Figure 14
WARNING
If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly
on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood
ooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension
in Figure 14 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is
placed beneath the appliance.
Finishing - See Figures 15 and 16
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 5 on page 10
shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal
dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the
top front edge of the replace.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black
replace front.
WARNING
When nishing the replace never obstruct or modify the air
inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances
around air openings into the combustion chamber.
CAUTION
If the joints between the nished wall and the replace surround
(top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material
must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only
non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if
needed), can be applied as facing to the replace surround.
Flush Mount Mantel Installation
The replace must extend 3/4" beyond nished wall surface when
using a ush mount mantel. Refer to Figure 13 to locate nailing
anges on replace sides. Mark and drill two 1/8" holes into replace
side to mount each nailing ange. Use eight 1/2" hex-head screws
supplied in hardware package to attach nailing anges to replace
sides.
NAIL OR OTHER
SUITABLE FASTENER
Figure 13
Attention: When replace is installed in optional full cabinet mantel
or corner mantel the four nailing anges shown in Figure 13 will
not be installed on the side of outer casing. The replace will be
attached to the full cabinet mantel or corner mantel with the two
nailing anges located on the top of the outer casing assembly.
Framing
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the replace is set in
place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering
and replace facing material. The replace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the replace standoffs. Refer to Figure 14 for minimum
framing dimensions.
CAUTION
MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING
METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE
FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.
