Finishing Instructions
It is important to follow the framing and fi nishing
instructions to ensure proper placement of fi replace into
the surrounding framing/fi nishing materials.
Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are specifi ed in
this installation manual to properly align with the factory-
installed non combustible material
A. Framing and Finishing Instructions
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:
• Drywall (gypsum board)
• Plywood
• Or other materials that do not meet the ASTM E
136 Non-combustibility standard. See specifi cation
below
Failure to comply with these instructions may cause a
fi re or cause the appliance to overheat.
Non-Combustible Materials Specifi cation
Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are
those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete,
slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.
Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,
Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a
Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC and UL763 shall be
considered non-combustible materials.
Setting the Fireplace into the Framing
Unlike many traditional, single-sided Heat & Glo fi replaces,
this fi replace is recessed into surround framing. The left
and right nailing tabs were designed for the SLR model
as a means to ensure the fi replace is recessed to the
correct location within the framing materials.
1. Bend three nailing tabs away from fi replace 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 fi replace. See Figure
13.3.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as specifi ed. 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 fi re.
