Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the
top and on the front of the H34DF* & HL34DF* fireplaces provided that
they do not project beyond shaded area shown in Figure 25. Fireplace
HC34DF* must follow the graph, Figure 25a.
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED
IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for the control
compartments and heat exchanger, it also prevents access for
servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.

WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, (HC34DF* ONLY)
up to 3" (as shown, Fig.25a) with a non-combustible material Please Note:
The decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess
of 250° F. This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for
example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation,
discolouration or premature failure of T.V. radio, and other electronic
components.
