MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible mate-
rial clearances, you must also meet required
clearances between fireplace opening and
mantel shelf. If you do not meet the clear-
ances listed below, you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between
mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not required (see Figure 6).
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance When using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not
met, you must have a hood. When using a
hood there are still certain minimum mantel
clearances required. Follow minimum clear-
ances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures of
adjacent walls and mantels be-
come hot during operation. Walls
and mantels above the firebox
may become hot to the touch. If
installed properly, these tempera-
tures meet the requirement of the
national product standard. Fol-
low all minimum clearances
shown in this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clearances
shown, you must do one of the
following:
• operate the logs only with the
flue damper open
• raise the mantel to an accept-
able height
• remove the mantel
