Finishing
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as specifi ed. Framing or fi nishing
material closer than the minimums listed must be construct-
ed entirely of noncombustible materials (i.e., steel studs,
concrete board, etc.).
B. Facing Material
The appliance can be covered with any noncombustible
material. Refer to Section 1.D.
It is possible for the face of the unit above the fi replace open-
ing to show signs of soot. Clean that area as frequently as
necessary to eliminate a build up of soot or permanent dis-
coloration. A noncombustible ledge (shelf) approximately 3
inches above the opening and a minimum of 3 inches out
from the face of the unit incorporated into the facing material
will help prevent the soot from going up the wall.
Note: The control box lid can be painted as desired.
Use sandpaper or other abrasive material to scuff
the surface prior to painting.
