(Center of 12 x 10)
Clearance Requirements
The top, back, and sides of the fi replace are defi ned  by 
stand-offs. The minimum clearance to a perpendicular wall 
extending past the face of the fi replace is 4 inches (102 
mm). The back of the fi replace may be recessed 23 (584 
mm) inches (546 mm) into combustible construction.
Step 2.  Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fi replace is 
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommodate 
wall coverings and fi replace facing material. The diagram 
below shows framing reference dimensions.
CAUTION: MEASURE FIREPLACE DIMENSIONS, AND 
VERIFY FRAMING METHODS AND WALL COVERING 
DETAILS, BEFORE FRAMING.
The distance from the unit to combustible construction is 
to be measured from the unit outer wrap surface to the 
combustible construction, NOT from the screw heads 
that secure the unit together.
