Minimum Non Combustible Material Clearances

If Using Mantel

You must have non combustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Non
combustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch
thick. With sheet metal, you must have non combustible material behind it. Non
combustible material must extend at least 8 inches up. If combustible material is
less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory. Even if non combus-
tible material is more than 12", you may need the hood accessory to deflect heat
away from your mantel shelf. See chart below and Figures 6 and 7 for minimum
clearances.

IMPORTANT:

 If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate

heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory
for Vented Operation,
 page 13.

Non combustible material must be
extended to at least 8". See

material, you must operate heater with
flue damper open.

Mantel Clearances

If you meet minimum clearance between mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening,
a hood is not required (see Figure 6).

Mantel Shelf

If above minimum clearances are not met, you must have a hood. Follow
minimum clearances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
