FIREPLACE INSTALLATION | Parlor Vent Free Fireplace |
If unit is to be “built in”, fireplace framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place.
BE SURE THAT ALL PACKING MATERIAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE UNIT PRIOR TO SETTING THE FIREBOX IN PLACE. Construct fireplace framing following Figure 2 on Page 6. The framing headers may rest directly on top of the firebox.
The fireplace may be installed directly on a combustible floor or a raised platform of an appro- priate height. Do not place fireplace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on flat wood, plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure fire- place rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can enter from under the firebox.
Anchor fireplace to the side framing members using nailing flanges.
WARNING
The fireplace must be installed giving full consideration to the clearance and height requirements identified in this manual.
1.Secure nailing flanges to side of firebox. Figure 7
2.Slide the firebox into prepared framing or position firebox in its final position and frame later.
3.Level the firebox by checking the top edge of the firebox. Shim if necessary.
4.Anchor firebox to the side framing members using 8d nails or other suitable fasteners. Figure 8
