Minimum Framing Dimensions

¥

The 1/2" stand-offs on
the back and sides and 6-
1/4" stand-offs on the
top of the fireplace are
designed to separate the
fireplace from the
framing members.
These stand-offs may
contact the framing
members but no material
may be placed between
the stand-offs.

¥

Fireplace must be
installed on a level
surface capable of
supporting the fireplace
and vent

¥

Fireplace must be placed
directly on wood or non-
combustible surface (not
on linoleum or carpet)

¥

Due to the high
temperature of the
fireplace, it should be
located out of traffic and
away from furniture and
draperies.

framing and 2-5/8" above the base of the
