nOte: Any remote 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 painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring
combustible wall board to the top of the standoffs on the top and the sides of the unit. 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.
