Level the Fireplace

Level the fireplace side-to-side and front‑to‑back. Shim with noncombustible material, such as sheet metal, as neces- sary. Secure the fireplace (using the nailing flanges located on either side of the fireplace) to the vertical framing.

Note: When elevating the fireplace above the hearth extension the front of the elevated platform must be protected with a protective metal hearth strip.
