Mantels and Surrounds
NOTE:
National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements are for fire hazard
prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the wise use of
energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of fireplaces which are hot,
fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware that temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room
temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to the touch.

Wiring for the optional Fan Kit
All
DV 38 ST
fireplaces may be equipped with optional fan kits for circulating heat
into the living space.
Installations in Canada
which employ the fans must be electrically grounded in
accordance with
CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or Local Codes.
Installations in the USA
which employ the fans must be grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
For more information see the
Fan Kit Installation Guide
included with the fan kit.
NOTE:
If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance is replaced, it must be
replaced with the same type, or its equivalent.

WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for example:
candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration
or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting
The Master Painters and Decorators Association recommend special care when painting
the fireplace surrounds. A quality alkyd sealer should be applied prior to the application
of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a
brownish staining effect to paint over coats.
