FIREBOX FRAMING
Firebox framing can be built before or after the appliance is set in
place. Construct rebox framing following Figure 3 for your specic
installation requirements. See Figure 3 on Page 7 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

overlay the black-painted metal face, including radiant plates, and
do not pose a re hazard. Any noncombustible nish material must
not extend past or interfere with the replace opening.
The classication “combustible material” includes, but is not limited
