Finishing

Figure 7 on page 10

 shows the minimum vertical and 

corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels or 

other combustible projections above the top front edge of the 

fireplace.

Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black 

fireplace face.

WARNING

Never  obstruct  or  modify  face  of  the  fireplace.  Improper 

installation may cause a hazardous situation.

CAUTION

A 300°F minimum sealant material must be used if the joints 

between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top 

and sides) are sealed. These joints are not required to be 

sealed.  Only  non-combustible  material  (use  if  needed), 

can  be  applied  to  the  fireplace  surround.  Consequences: 

Failure to use the 300°F minimum adhesive may allow the 

finishing material to fall.
