FIREBOX FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance
is set in place. Construct rebox framing following Figure
5, 6 or 7 for your specic installation requirements. The
framing headers may rest on the top of the rebox stand-
offs. Do not bring headers below top of standoffs. NOTE:
When planning your framing and installation, keep in mind
that the gas line and electric power come in on the same
end of the replace. Refer to Figures 2, 3 & 4 for replace
dimensions.
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.
COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks
around your appliance, and wherever cold air
could enter the room, with noncombustible
material. It is especially important to insulate
the outside chase cavity between the studs
and under the oor on which the appliance
rests, if the oor is above ground level.
NOTE
FINISHING MATERIAL
NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch,
and optional fan) must be done prior to nal nishing to
avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel,
or other materials with a UL re rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F
minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materi-
als to the black surface. If joints between the nished wall
and the replace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent)
must be used.
NOTE: Refer to cold climate pilot information on Page 46
for more information on standing pilot vs. intermittent pilot
options.
