GD33 FRAMING

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE
APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE BE "FINISHED" (IE: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH
ANY OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO
DO NOT NOTCH THE FRAMING AROUND THE APPLIANCE STAND-OFFS. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN
AIR SPACE CLEARANCE MAY CAUSE OVER HEATING AND FIRE. PREVENT CONTACT WITH
SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION OR FRAMING AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. BLOCK
OPENING INTO THE CHASE TO PREVENT ENTRY OF BLOWN-IN INSULATION. MAKE SURE
WHEN CONSTRUCTING THE ENCLOSURE ALLOW FOR FINISHING MATERIAL THICKNESS TO
MAINTAIN CLEARANCES. FRAMING OR FINISHING MATERIAL CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUMS
LISTED MUST BE CONSTRUCTED ENTIRELY OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. MATERIALS
CONSISTING ENTIRELY OF STEEL, IRON, BRICK, TILE, CONCRETE, SLATE, GLASS OR PLASTERS,
OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF ARE SUITABLE. MATERIALS THAT ARE REPORTED AS PASSING
ASTM E 136, STANDARD TEST METHOD FOR BEHAVIOUR OF MATERIALS IN A VERTICAL TUBE
FURNACE AT 750°C AND UL763 SHALL BE CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD
THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE

It is best to frame your appliance after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local building

It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this appliance system.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the appliance to accommodate for the thickness of the fi nished fl oor
materials, i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere with the opening of the lower ac-
cess door and the installation of many decorative fl ashing accessories.
Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the
black face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in
these areas.
