framing
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this appliance system.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the appliance to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor materi-
als i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower access door
and the installation of many decorative fl ashing accessories.

WARNING
• Risk of fi re!
• In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance
body, it is recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be “fi nished” (i.e. drywall / sheetrock),
as you would fi nish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is
maintained within the cavity.
• Do not notch the framing around the appliance stand offs. Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause
over heating and fi re. Prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation or framing and other combustible
materials. Block opening into the chase to prevent entry of blown-in insulation. Make sure insulation and
other materials are secured.
• When constructing the enclosure, allow for fi nishing material thickness to maintain clearances. Framing or
fi nishing material closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of non-combustible materials.
Materials consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination
thereof are suitable. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E136, standard test method for behaviour
of materials in a vertical tube furnace at 1382ºF (750ºC) and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible
materials.
• Minimum clearance to combusibles must be maintained or a serious fi re hazard could result.
• The appliance requires a minimum enclosure height. Measure from the appliance base.
• If steel stud framing kits with cement board are provided, or specifi ed in the installation instructions, they
must be installed.
• If specifi ed in the installation instruction, fi nishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile,
marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall. Any fi re rated drywall is not acceptable.
When using optional fi nishing accessories, the framing dimensions and fi nishing materials may differ from
what is outlined in the section below; refer to the leafl et instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specifi c
framing and fi nishing specifi cations.

Combustible protrusions such as mantels and shelves may occur at or after a minimum distance of 2” away from
the side of the appliance. Thereafter, the depth of any protrusions must be of equal to or less than the distance
from the side of the appliance up to a depth of 6”, after which no greater clearance than 6” is required. This can
be considered a side wall with no length boundary.
Minimum clearance to combustible construction from appliance:
sides, back, bottom and top of the unit 0 inch
recessed depth 13 1/2 inches
