Attention: Add 3-3/4" to “A” dimensions when using a flush
mantel base.
Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is
installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material
other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The
vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted when a metal or
wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.
Finishing (Figure 12)
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Only non-
combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace
front.
Warning: When finishing the fireplace never obstruct
or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner.
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber.
Caution: If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace
surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant
material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed.
Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive
if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.
