NOTE: When using optional finishing accessories, the framing dimensions and finishing materials
may differ from what is outlined in the section below. Refer to the leaflet instructions in the
accessory kit for specific framing and finishing specifications.
5.1 framing for CB36 / CX36-1
! WARNING
RISK OF FIRE!
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 COMBUSTIBLES IS MAINTAINED WITHIN THE
CAVITY.
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 INSULATION AND OTHER MATERIALS ARE
SECURED.
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 1382°F (750°C) AND UL763 SHALL BE
CONSIDERED NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES MUST BE MAINTAINED OR A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD COULD
RESULT.
THE APPLIANCE REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENCLOSURE HEIGHT. MEASURE FROM THE APPLIANCE BASE.
IF STEEL STUD FRAMING KITS WITH CEMENT BOARD ARE PROVIDED, OR SPECIFIED IN THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS, THEY MUST BE INSTALLED.
IF SPECIFIED IN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FINISHING MUST BE DONE USING A NON-COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL SUCH AS NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD, CERAMIC TILE, MARBLE, ETC. DO NOT USE WOOD OR
DRYWALL. ANY FIRE RATED DRYWALL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
It is best to frame the appliance after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Frame to local
building codes.
It is not necessary to install a hearth extension with this appliance.
When roughing in the appliance, raise the appliance to accommodate for the thickness of the finished floor
materials (i.e. tile, carpeting, hard wood), which if not planned for, will interfere with the opening of the lower
access door and the installation of many decorative flashing accessories.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (i.e. brick, stone, ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
