FRAMING AND

FINISHING

1) Determine the total thickness of facing

material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the fi nished surface to be fl ush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1" (32mm)
thick.

2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with

framing material. The framed opening is

46-3/8" high x 46-1/2" wide x 19-1/2" deep
(1168mm high x 1181mm wide x 495mm
deep).

INSTALLATION

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Because of the extreme heat this fi replace
emits, the mantel clearances are critical.

Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit
are shown in Diagram below.

Note: A non-combustible mantel may be

installed at a lower height if the
framing is made of metal studs
covered with a non-combustible
board.

These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch
= 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded
area or higher using the above scale.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used

on the mantel and the facing is
"heat resistant" or the paint may
discolour.

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to

the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fi replace itself.)

installed as manufactured.

UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS

To accommodate varying thicknesses and
fi nishes of hearth materials, we have increased
the overall height of the appliance by a further 1
1/8”. This increase is added with the inclusion of
two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the
outer box, taking the overall height of the framing
dimensions from 45-1/4” up to 46-3/8”.

In the event that you should choose to use thinner
materials to fi nish the hearth, you can omit the
stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However,
we recommend that you leave the framing
dimensions as they are in the manual and alter
only the facing requirement by reducing it by the
same distance that you have lowered the unit.

Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the
unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the
stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 2-1/2 feet
apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.

Install Top Standoffs & Side Nailing Strips
before unit is slipped into position. See the
"Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" section
for assembly details.
