If unit is to be “built in,” replace framing can be built before
or after the appliance is set in place.
Refer to Figure 2 on Page 6
for replace and framing dimensions. The framing headers
may rest directly on top of the rebox.
This replace may be installed directly onto a combustible
oor or raised on a platform of appropriate height. Do not
install the replace directly onto any soft ooring material
such as carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material
other than wood ooring, unless there is a sheet metal
panel (.030” minimum thickness) or at wood, plywood or
particle board panel (1/2” minimum thickness) extending
the full width and depth of the enclosure. Be sure rebox
rests on a solid continuous oor or platform with appropri-
ate framing for support.
Anchor fireplace to the side framing members using
optional nailing ange kit. Refer to installation instructions
included with the kit.
