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.) Failure to comply could cause fire.

Finishing Instructions

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

Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are specified in this installation manual to properly align with the factory- installed non combustible material

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 for the SLR model as a means to ensure the fireplace is recessed to the correct location within the framing materials.

1.Bend three nailing tabs away from fireplace 180 degrees on both left and right nailing tabs. Do not adjust the column standoffs. See Figure 13.1 and Figure 13.2.

2.Screw each nailing tab to the adjoining framing material. Ensure that the 1” air space clearance is maintained on the sides of the fireplace. See Figure 13.3.

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