FRAmING
1.  Frame the opening for the firebox using 
the dimensions shown in Figures 6 and 7 
depending on your installation.
2.  If  firebox  is  to  be  installed  directly  on 
carpeting, tile (other than ceramic) or any 
combustible  material  other  than  wood 
flooring, firebox must be installed upon a 
metal or wood panel extending full width 
and depth of firebox.
Figure 8 - Ember Protectors
3.  Set firebox directly in front of opening and 
slide unit back until nailing flanges touch 
side framing.
4.  Check the level of firebox and shim with 
sheet metal if necessary.
5.  Before securing firebox to prepared fram-
ing, ember protector (provided) must be 
placed  between  hearth  extension  (not 
supplied) and under bottom front edge of 
firebox to protect against glowing embers 
(see Figure 8 and Hearth Extensions on 
page 6). If firebox is to be installed on a 
raised platform, a Z-type ember protector 
(not  supplied)  must  be  fabricated  to  fit 
your required platform height (see Figure 
7). The ember protector should be made 
of galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge mini-
mum) to prevent corrosion.
6.  Secure  firebox  to  framing  at  nailing 
flanges located on sides of firebox (see 
Figure 9, page 6).
