Note: Install the hearth extension only as il-
lustrated (see Figures 21 & 22).

The safety strips should extend from front of
the fi replace at least 1 1/2" and should extend
to be at least fl ush with the sides. In the event a
wooden support is used to elevate the fi replace
above the fl oor, a “Z” type safety strip should be
fabricated and used to protect the front surface
of the wood support as well as the fl oor beneath
the hearth extension (Figures 23 & 24). The
safety strips should be tacked down to prevent
possible movement.

Note: The “Z” type safety strip is not sup-
plied.

Note: Safety strips are not required when fi re-
place rests on a noncombustible surface.

Step 3. Refer to fi replace drawings and speci-
fi cations (see Figures 18, 19 & 20) for fram-
ing dimensions and details. Frame appliance
enclosure as illustrated in Figure 18.

Note: The framed depth, 21 5/8" (549 mm)
from a framed wall, must always be measured
from a fi nished surface. If a wall covering such
as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall,
then the 21 5/8" (549 mm) must be measured
from the drywall surface. It is important that
this dimension be exact.

If the appliance is to be elevated above fl oor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.

The header may rest on the top metal spacers,
but must not be notched to fi t around them.

Consult all local codes.
