A. Framing and Finishing Instructions

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear- ances to combustibles as specified. Framing closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncom- bustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.)

Finishing Instructions

It is important to follow the framing and finishing instruc- tions to ensure proper placement of fireplace into the sur- rounding framing/finishing materials.

Wall sheathing materials 3/8 in. (10 mm) thick are specified in this installation manual to properly align with the factory-installed non combustible material.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove the factory- installed non-combustible board or cover it with combus- tible material, such as:

•Drywall (gypsum board)

•Plywood

•Materials that do not meet the ASTM E 136 Non-com- bustibility standard (below).

Removal of factory-installed, non-combustible board and/ or use of materials not meeting the ASTM E 136 standard may cause fire.

Non-Combustible Materials Specification

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,

Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.

Setting the Fireplace into the Framing

Unlike many traditional, single-sided Heat & Glo fireplaces, this fireplace is recessed into surround framing. The left and right nailing tabs were designed so the fireplace is re- cessed to the correct location within the framing materials.

1.Bend two nailing tabs away from fireplace 180 degrees on both left and right nailing tabs. Do not adjust the column standoffs. See Figure 13.1.

2.Screw each nailing tab to the adjoining framing material. Ensure that the air space clearance is maintained on the sides of the fireplace. See Figure 13.2.
