Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Construct rebox framing following Figure
1 for your specic installation requirements. See Figure 1
on Page 6 for rebox dimensions. The framing headers
may rest on the top of the rebox.
The rebox may be installed directly on a combustible oor
or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When
the rebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
combustible material, other than wood ooring, the rebox
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the enclosure.
The classication "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 re hazard. Any noncom-
bustible nish material must not extend past or interfere
with the replace opening.
The classication "combustible material" incudes, but is
not limited to: plywood, drywall, and particle board. Com-
bustible materials may contact the sides, bottom, or back
of the rebox. Do not overlay the black painted face with
combustible materials.
This inner chamber rebox oor must
be installed at least 5" above any combustible ooring
material, such as carpeting or asphalt tile, which is
closer than 14" to the base of the rebox. Figure 7
OR
The inner chamber rebox oor may be installed nearer to
the oor if a minimum of 14" of noncombustible ma terial
such as slate or marble is installed between the base of
the rebox and the combustible ooring. Figure 8
