INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

In planning the installation for the fireplace, it is necessary to determine where the unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.

The fireplace can be mounted on any of these surfaces:

1.A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.

2.A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.

3.Four (4) corners of the fireplace so contact is made on all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit. (Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks.)

If the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it should be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit.

At this point, you should have decided what components to include in your installation, and where the fireplace is to be located. If this has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance with this planning.

C-1. FIREPLACE FRAMING.

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 top of the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 for fireplace framing dimensions.
