Television Considerations
I
nstalling a television above a fireplace has become a desirable
feature; however, the following information should be considered.
All fireplaces, whether decorative or heater rated create heat.
Most television manufacturers recommend not placing a television
near a heat source. Because there is a large variety of television
manufactures, styles and sizes, it is impractical to test every potential
installation. If you choose to install a television above or near your
fireplace, understand that Empire Comfort Systems accepts no
responsibility for this decision and any injury or damage due to this
application is the sole responsibility of the owner. Additionally, it is
highly recommended to turn off the fireplace and let it cool down
before servicing or using the operational buttons located on the
television. In all cases, the television manufacturer’s instructions
and warnings should be followed.
Combustible Material
No greeting cards, stockings or ornamentation of any type should
be placed on or attached to the fireplace. The flow of heat can ignite
combustibles. See Figure 3.
