INSTALLATION (continued)

Flush Mount Mantel Installation (Figure 10)

The fireplace must extend 3/4" beyond finished wall surface when using a flush mount mantel. Refer to Figure 10 to locate nailing flanges on fireplace sides. Mark and drill two (2) 1/8" holes into fireplace side to mount each nailing flange. Use eight (8) 1/2" hex-head screws supplied in hardware package to attach nailing flanges to fireplace sides.

Framing (Figure 11)

Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 11 for minimum framing dimensions.

CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND VERIFY FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION BEGINS.

Framing dimension "A" includes a three inch clearance for standoffs on firebox. After installing firebox into framing, the finished wall surface must cover the three inch opening above the firebox.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figures 12 and 13)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on page 8 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections above the top front edge of the fireplace.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front.

Warning: When finishing the fireplace 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 finished wall and the fireplace 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 fireplace surround.
