It is important that the fi nishing material is determined before 
the appliance is secured to the fl oor.  Depending on the fi n-
ishing material and installation method, the appliance may 
need to be positioned further in or out of the wall.

There are three ways fi nishing material can be applied:.

  1. Behind the mounting frame
  2. Flush with the mounting frame
  3. Protrudes beyond the mounting frame

The mounting frame is designed to have a 1/2 inch (13mm) 
overlap on the sides and the top of the framing opening. 
Figure 28.1.

NOTICE:  Non-combustible material is not needed to fi nish 
this appliance.

Positioning the nailing fl anges:

  • Slide the nailing fl anges all the way to the front and this 

will set the appliance for 1/2 inch (13mm) sheet rock.

  • If tile, marble or other fl at surface fi nish material is desi-

ered and you want the mounting frame to cover the cut 
edge, set the nailing fl anges at a dimension of the sheet 
rock thickness plus the fi nishing material thickness. 

 

2. Flush with the Mounting Frame

The fi nish material can not be thicker than 1-1/2 inches 
(38mm) to use this method.  Figure 28.3.

  • Set the nailing fl anges for sheet rock thickness and 

install the appliance.

  • Install the mounting frame.

  • Install the fi nishing material to edge of the mounting 

frame.

This method is mainly used for a brick or stone installa-
tion.  When fi nishing material is protrudes of the mounting 
frame and front, there must be a 1-1/4 inch (32mm) airfl ow 
clearance in front of the mounting frame.  Figure 28.4.

Use the masonry spacer supplied with the Front to position 
the fi nishing material at the proper dimension.  Remember 
to keep the Front opening clearances in mind when fi nishing 
material is protrudes of the Front.  (See pages 29-30) .

  • Set the nailing fl anges for sheet rock thickness and 

install the appliance.

  • Install the mounting frame.

  • Install the fi nishing material to edge of the mounting 

frame.

Complete the installation following all specifi ed clear-
