C. Securing and Leveling the Appliance

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with:

• Sagging or loose insulation

• Insulation backing or plastic

• Framing and other combustible materials

Block openings into the chase to prevent entry of blown-

in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials

are secured.

DO NOT notch the framing around the appliance

standoffs. Failure to maintain air space clearance could

cause overheating and ﬁ re.

To properly position, level, and secure the appliance, see

below. Nailing tabs are provided to secure the appliance

to the framing members.

• Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side.

• Place the appliance into position.

• Keep nailing tabs ﬂ ush with the framing. See Figure 6.5.

• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.

• Shim the appliance as necessary. It is acceptable to use

wood shims underneath the appliance.

• Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or

screws through the nailing tabs.

Some ﬁ gures in manual show the ﬁ replace installed on the

ﬂ oor. However, this ﬁ replace can be elevated off the ﬂ oor

provided that the ﬁ replace is properly supported by framing

materials and the ceiling clearances are maintained.

Figure 6.5 Nailing Tab Locations

Setting the Fireplace into the Framing

The left and right nailing tabs were designed as a means

to ensure the ﬁ replace is mounted ﬂ ush with the framing

materials. See Figures 6.5-6.7.

1. The shipping ﬂ anges protrude further out from the ap-

pliance than the side standoffs. The shipping ﬂ ange

may be bent upward or broken off in order to place the

appliance into position in the framing.

2. Bend out all nailing tabs. The see-through model will

have eight nailing tabs. The single-sided model will

have four nailing tabs.

3. Screw each nailing tab to the adjoining framing ma-

terial. Ensure that the one inch air space clearance

is maintained on the sides and back of the ﬁ replace.

See Figures 3.8-3.11 for framing and clearance de-

tails.
