FRAMING AND ANCHORING
If unit is to be “built in”, replace framing can be built before
or after the appliance is set in place. BE SURE THAT ALL
PACKING MATERIAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE UNIT PRIOR TO SETTING THE
FIREBOX IN PLACE. Construct replace framing following
Fireplace and Framing Dimensions. The framing headers
may rest directly on top of the rebox.
The replace may be installed directly on a combustible
oor or a raised platform of an appropriate height. Do
not place replace on carpeting, vinyl, tile or other soft
oor coverings. It may, however, be placed on at wood,
plywood, particle board or other hard surfaces. Be sure
replace rests on a solid continuous oor or platform with
appropriate framing for support and so that no cold air can
enter from under the rebox.
WARNING: The replace must be installed
giving full consideration to the clearance
and height requirements identified in this
manual.
