Appliance Preparation
A. Securing and Leveling Appliance
Position, level, and secure the appliance.
• Place the appliance into position on either a wood or
noncombustible continuous fl at surface.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
• Shim the appliance with noncombustible material, such
as sheet metal, as necessary.
• Nailing tabs must be moved from shipping position to
installation position and secured to framing. Bend the
two nailing tabs out on each side. See Figure 4.1.
B. Flashing
• Flash the fi replace in a manner consistent with regional
practices to prevent water penetration around the
fi replace. Due to elevated temperatures across the top of
the fi replace, metal fl ashing and high temperature sealant
must be used. Adhesive polymeric fl ashing materials may
melt.
• For brick, stone, stucco and similar construction, weep
screeds should be installed per regional codes.
• See Section 3.D. and Figure 3.1 for more information
regarding wall and enclosure construction required to
prevent moisture penetration into the structure. The
fi replace will shed moderate amounts of water but is not
waterproof.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during installa-
tion. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
