FIREPLACE FRAMING
If unit is to be “built in,” fireplace framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. BE SURE
THAT ALL PACKING MATERIAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE UNIT PRIOR TO SETTING THE FIREBOX IN PLACE. Construct fireplace framing following Figures 11 through 14. See Figure 6 on page 11 for fireplace dimensions. The framing headers may not rest directly on top of the firebox.
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or a raised platform of an appropriate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can enter from under the firebox.
