5 Framing and Clearances

A. Selecting Appliance Location

When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure 5.1).

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat- ed out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

It is important to follow the framing and finishing instruc- tions step by step to ensure proper placement of fireplace in the surrounding framing/finishing materials.
