RECOMMENDATIONS

ATTENTION

1. The painting on the frame is fragile. Handle with care and be careful with accessories and tools that could damage the paint.
2. Follow all recommendations written in the Stûv 21 instruction manual.
3. Install the frame before the wall finishes. It will facilitate the cutting of the finishing material to the right dimensions.
4. The ideal position is with a 3/16’’ protrusion at the front. This prevents the heat from getting too close to the wall and hides any imperfections in the brickwork.
5. This frame is not a structural component. It is not designed to bear weight.
6. The holes in the frame’s wing pieces are not for attaching the frame. Never screw anything in the fireplace.
