Parlor Vent Free Fireplace FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
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.
