FIREPLACE FRAMING

Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in place. Construct firebox framing following Figures 9
through 12
and the chart below for your specific installation requirements. See Figure 1 on Page 6 for firebox dimensions.
The framing headers may rest on the top of the firebox.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When the
firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox shall
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.
The classification "noncombustible material" includes, but is not limited to: stone, brick, and mortar. Noncombustibles are
safe to overlay the black-painted metal face, including radiant plates, and do not pose a fire hazard. Any noncombustible
finish material must not extend past or interfere with the fireplace opening.
The classification "combustible material" incudes, but is not limited to: plywood, drywall, and particle board. Combustible
materials may contact the sides, bottom, or back of the firebox. Do not overlay the black painted face with combustible
matierals.
