PENINSULA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
FRAMING
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insula- tion or vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is best to frame your fireplace after it is positioned. Use
2x4's and frame to local building codes.FIGURE 5.

COUNTERTOP / BAR INSTALLATION
When finishing the fireplace, combustible material may rest directly on of the top extension.
Note: Maximum weight tolerance is 400 lbs, provided that it is evenly distributed across the top extensions of the fireplace.
In order to achieve a countertop or bar type appearance with the minimum height allowed, framing must be non- combustible and may be done with metal studding at- tached to the heat shield sides or the upper frame of the fireplace. FIGURE 7.

To install the fireplace face flush with the finished wall, position the framework to accommodate the thickness of the finished wall.
