Combustible materials may be installed fl ush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these
areas.
Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the
mantel depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed.

4.4 NAILING TAB INSTALLATION
55.1A
A. Attach the nailing tabs to the corner posts using the 2 sheet metal screws sup-
plied. Secure through the centre of the top and bottom slots in the nailing tab and
then through the existing holes in the corner posts. If there are no existing holes,
follow these instructions:
B. To determine the fi nal location of the nailing tab you must fi rst determine the
thickness of your fi nishing material (i.e. drywall). This will determine the dimen-
sion from the front edge of the corner post to the nailing tab. Once the nailing tab
is in the desired location, drill through the centre hole of the nailing tab. Secure
with a sheet metal screw*.
* Additional set screws may be installed.
