COMBUSTIBLE MANTEL
CLEARANCES
Because of the extreme heat this fi replace emits, the mantel clear-
ances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of door frame
are shown in the diagram below. Mantel may be installed anywhere in the
shaded area or higher.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower
height.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is
“heat resistant” or the paint may discolour.
Unless otherwise stated the clearances listed below are Minimum distances
to combustible materials. Please Note: A major cause of chimney
related fi res is due to a failure to maintain required clearances (air
space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance
that this insert and vent system be installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
