Fig. 43 The trim panels fasten the cabinet to the chase fram- ing and give the installation a finished appearance.

6.Move the cabinet into the chase and fasten the trim panels to the chase framing.

NOTE: The chase floor must be the same height as the hearth and must provide uninterrupted support. Push the cabinet carefully into the chase opening until the ends of the upper trim panel and the outer edges of the side panels rest against the studs forming the front of the chase. IMPORTANT: If the cabinet does not slide easily into position, DO NOT force it; doing so could damage the “standoffs” that ensure adequate clearance from combustibles. Instead, double-check your framed chase dimensions before proceeding to make sure you have allowed enough clearance.

WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.

a.Attach the upper trim panel. Refer to the combustible limits illustration and the required dimensions, and locate one hole through each end of the upper panel into the studding behind. Make sure the holes are located outside the combustible limits where they will be hidden by wall covering or additional facing material. Drill the holes, check carefully for square one last time, and secure the panels with drywall screws driven home to make flush with surface.

b.Attach the side panels. Drill 2 holes in each side panel, also outside the combustible limit, and secure the panels to the studding with additional drywall screws.

NOTE: Drywall or other combustible wall covering ap- plied to overlap the outer edge of the trim panels MUST NOT extend inside the combustible limits. These limits also apply to any combustible edge molding used to trim the raw edge of the drywall.

In addition, combustible edge molding must not pro- trude into the room more than 2” (51mm) from the panel surface.

c.After the cabinet has been installed to its proper depth, check all standoffs once again for proper clearance. Screw the cabinet to the floor through the eight drilled holes with eight of the #10 Phillips pan head sheet metal screws provided.

d.Connect the electric service cable to the cabinet’s junction box if the wiring has not previously been completed. (NOTE: Since the cabinet’s junction box is removable, the wiring can be done outside the cabinet either before the cabinet arrives or after it has been installed.)

Remove the cover plate from the junction box in the cabinet. Pull the electric service cable (and the switch cable if installing the optional Cabinet Convection Blower Kit) into the cabinet junction box and wire the junction box as shown in the illustration below.

Figure 45 shows the required wiring for an installation using the optional cabinet convection blower kit. If your installation does not use the optional blower, ONLY the upper receptacle will be live.

Secure and tighten the strain relief.

e.Install the required chimney anchor plate to the top of the cabinet. Use a 1/8” (4mm) bead of gasket cement to seal the flange to the cabinet. Install the chimney according to the manufacturer’s instructions; follow the instructions exactly.

7.Install the air ducts. Before installing the air duct boxes, you may wish to paint the inner surfaces with high temperature stove paint (or other high temperature paint) to reduce the glare from reflected light.
