It is very important when framing and setting this appli-
ance, to consider what type of wall fi nishing will be used
(i.e. sheet rock, tile, marble, rock, etc.).
The LUX60 is shipped with a steel stud kit and cement
board. BOTH MUST BE USED above the appliance
opening in the noncombustible zone (see Figure 14.1)
regardless of the wall fi nishing to be used.
A. Standard 1/2 in. (13 mm) Sheetrock
If a standard 1/2 in. sheetrock wall fi nishing is to be
used, the front edge of the appliance must be set 1/2 in.
(13 mm) out in front of the framing to achieve a fl ush fi t
