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.

NOTICE: Illustrations reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to individual design preference.

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

Unlike many traditional, single sided Heat & Glo fireplaces, the SLR is recessed into surround framing. The left and right nailing tabs were designed to ensure the fireplace is recessed to the correct location within the framing materials. Refer to Section 13 for detailed instructions on finishing.
