Installation and safety notes

Framing: 41-1/2 inches high × 40 inches wide × 23 inches deep. The depth assumes 1/2-inch wallboard flush to both front faces. Add the platform height when elevating the firebox; follow the complete framing diagram.

Use the supplied hood or the exact approved replacement hood. Clearances include 36 inches in front of the firebox, 1-3/4 inches from the inside of the firebox to a perpendicular combustible side wall, and 42 inches from hood top to ceiling. Mantel projection changes the required clearance; use the standard-hood or optional-hood chart that matches the installation. Maintain at least 1-1/2 inches between grate front legs and the front firebox edges.

Apply the enclosure manual and the selected heater manual together, including combustion-air, room suitability and applicable-code requirements.
