Step 10. Finishing
Figure 11 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding
maximum horizontal dimensions of fireplace mantels or other
combustible projections above the top front edge of the
fireplace. See Figures 2 and 3 for other fireplace clearances.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the
black fireplace front, sides, top and bottom.
Figure 11.
Minimum Vertical and Maximum Horizontal
Dimensions of Combustibles above Fireplace
CAUTION: IF JOINTS BETWEEN THE FINISHED WALLS
AND THE FIREPLACE SURROUND (TOP AND SIDES)
ARE SEALED, A 300°
F. MINIMUM SEALANT MATE-
RIAL MUST BE USED. THESE JOINTS ARE NOT RE-
QUIRED TO BE SEALED. ONLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIAL (USING 300° F. MINIMUM ADHESIVE, IF
NEEDED) CAN BE APPLIED AS FACING TO THE FIRE-
PLACE SURROUND. SEE THE DIAGRAM BELOW.
Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic reasons.
However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing standards
do not
require
hearth extensions for gas fireplace appliances.
Figure 12. Sealant Material
Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but
MUST NEVER
overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F (149° C) minimum sealant.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
Step 11. Installing Trim, Logs, Ember
Material and Glass Doors
Positioning the Logs
The logs for model CFX-TV36B have been packaged sepa-
rately. Refer to the installation instructions that accompa-
ny the logs.
Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
!
WARNING: IF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
SUCH AS BRICK IS USED TO COVER THE
BLACK FACE OF THE FIREPLACE SURROUNDS,
THE JOINTS BETWEEN THE FACING MATERIAL
(BRICK, ETC.) AND THE FIREPLACE MUST BE
THOROUGHLY SEALED OR A FIRE COULD RESULT.
