Attention: If a base is not used and the appliance is installed directly
on tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 11
must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath
the appliance.
Finishing (Figures 12 and 13)
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 3 on
page 8 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum
horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections
above the top front edge of the fireplace.
The black fireplace front must not be covered. It must be flush
to the finished wall.
Warning: When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or
modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide
adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion
chamber.
Caution: If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace
surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed.
Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive
if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace.

Framing (Figure 11)
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is set in
place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate wall covering
and fireplace facing material. The fireplace framing should be
constructed of 2 x 4 lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace standoffs. Refer to Figure 11 for minimum
framing dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS AND
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS, AND WALL COVERING
DETAILS BEFORE FRAMING CONSTRUCTION
BEGINS.
Framing dimension "A" includes a six inch clearance
for standoffs on fireplace. After installing fireplace into
framing, the finished non-combustible wall surface must
cover the six inch opening above the fireplace.
Attention: Appliance must not be recessed below any flooring,
including carpeting, for proper front mounting. A metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance may
be required to raise the unit to the same level, or above existing
flooring. The vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted
when a panel is placed beneath the appliance.
