or masonry/ concrete screws to secure
fireplace to the floor. Use four (4) screws
to attach fireplace to framing. The side
nailing flanges are 1/" or 5/8" to accom-
modate different wall thickness.

 Any wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final
finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating
of Zero) may be used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F minimum adhesive
may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall
and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric
RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
