INSTALLING HOOD TO
MANUFACTURED FIREPLACE
WARNING: Many manufactured
fireplaces have louver openings
for ventilation. Do not cover any
louver openings with fireplace
hood. Do not mount fireplace hood
above any louver openings. Only
mount fireplace hood below louver
openings. Covering louver open-
ings or mounting fireplace hood
above louver openings will cause
the fireplace to overheat and could
cause property damage, personal
injury, or death due to fire.
CAUTION: Brass-plated hood
may tarnish due to heat if you
mount it too low. Make sure the
bottom of hood is at least 17 inches
above the bottom of fireplace (see
Figure 11). If installation height
is less than 17 inches, use the
GA6050 flat-black hood.
You may need to alter or discard the mounting
brackets to install the fireplace hood to the
manufactured fireplace.
