 WARNING: Grills on this heater 

cannot, in any way, be covered as 

it may create a fire hazard.

FINISHING CHECKLIST

•  Power supply service must be completed prior 

to finishing to avoid reconstruction.

•  Grills and air openings cannot be covered in 

any circumstances.

Note:

 The heater is a zero clearance fireplace and 

may be finished with combustible or noncombus-

tible finishing materials.

When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, they 

must be heat resistant to prevent discoloration.
