Installation

Finishing Around the Fireplace

Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the 

top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project 

beyond shaded area shown in 

Figure 24

. Side wall clearances are 3". 

Combustible surrounds may be installed with 3" clearance to the side 

of the fireplace as shown in 

Figure 25

.

Fireplace Facing

When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to 

remember the following: 

THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED 

IN ANY  WAY  -  to  do  so  restricts  the  air  supply  for  the  control 

compartments  and  heat  exchanger  it  also  prevents  access  for 

servicing controls.

The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor, 

provided you use a heat-resistant paint.  Decorative facing must not 

extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with 

the access to retainers for removal of glass door.

Mantels & 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; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal 

room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.

Warning:

When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace with a non-

combustible  material  Please  Note:  The  decorative  facing  materials 

may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F.  This should be 

considered when selecting facing materials.
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:

Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators 

Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and apply 

a quality 

Alkyd sealer

 prior to the applying of latex paints.  This is to 

prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish 

staining effect to paint over coats.
