FIREPLACE CLEARANCES (ZC) 
The fireplace may be placed directly on a combustible 
floor, against a combustible wall   at marked clearances, or 
on a raised wooden platform. 
If the fireplace is to be installed on a raised wooden 
platform, the platform must be a continuous level surface.  
The fireplace must be secured in place so it cannot shift 
positions.  The nailing flanges on the sides of the firebox 
make securing it to the framing easy.  They were designed 
to allow the installation of 1/2" wallboard or plywood flush 
with the face of the fireplace. 
Only the header (see Figure 2) may rest on the standoffs 
on top of the firebox. 
When the firebox is installed over carpeting, vinyl tile, or 
any combustible material other than wood flooring, it must 
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending its full 
width and depth.  Alternatively, the carpeting, vinyl tile, etc. 
may be removed beneath the fireplace before installing. 
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST NOT BE INSTALLED 
OVER OR TOUCH ANY BLACK PAINTED SURFACE.  DO 
NOT BLOCK HEAT CIRCULATING AIR OUTLETS.  DOING 
SO MAY RESULT IN POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS
1. Sidewall Clearances:  Clearances from  the side of the 
fireplace opening to any adjacent combustible wall should 
not be less than   7"right side and 7” left side, facing the 
frontof the appliance. 
2.  Ceiling Clearances:  The ceiling height should 
not be less than 42" from the top of  the fireplace 
opening. 
INSTALLING THE FIREBOX (ZC) 
This list of specific instructions will help you make certain that every 
installation operation is performed correctly.  Complete the installation 
steps in the sequence shown. 
LOCAL BUILDING CODES SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN ALL CASES AS 
TO THE PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE 
INSTALLATION OF FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES. 
 Select the location 
for the fireplace by taking into consideration the factors previously 
outlined in the section called “Choosing the Location.”  See page 6. 
Framing the Firebox 
The width of the framed opening must be 45 5/8".  The height of the 
framed opening must be 35 11/16".  The entire fireplace can  be 
elevated above the floor to achieve a raised hearth effect.  This can be 
done by adding a small platform to achieve the desired height.   
NOTE:  The wiring for the lower blower must be installed during the 
framing stage.  The nailing flanges on both sides were designed to allow 
the installation of 1/2" wallboard or plywood flush with the face of the 
fireplace. 
When the framing is inside, the outside wall will be insulated.  If the 
framing or chase is outside, thin insulation should be used in the 
framing on the back, sides, and top.  The bottom should be insulated 
with a hard insulating board.  This will prevent cold from going into the 
chase through the fireplace to the living space. 
Install the Firebox 
Install the firebox into the framed  opening by placing it directly in front 
of the opening and sliding it into the proper position. 
Level the Firebox 
Check the level of the firebox on the top edge of the fireplace face.  
Shim if necessary. 
Secure the Firebox 
Secure the fireplace to the framing.  The nailing flanges on the firebox 
will make securing the firebox to the frame quick and easy.  Use 
appropriate size nails or screws to secure the firebox.
