FRAMING
Construct framing using dimensions shown if Figures 6, 7 and 8. (Use the figure applicable to your application.) Figure 6 shows the framing dimensions prior to having the appliance in place. Once the unit has been fitted, bring studs in against nailing flanges located on the side of the appliance making sure a 1" clearance is maintained as shown in Figure 7.
If the fireplace is to be installed directly on carpet- ing, tile (other than ceramic) or any combustible material other than wood flooring the fireplace must be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace (see Figure 8). The platform must be solid, flat and fully supported.
