Mounting a TV above a fireplace has become common practice. With this in mind, we conducted tests to determine possible surface
temperatures reached above the fireplace.
Test results determined temperatures did not exceed 125° F (52°C) when the following criteria were met:
4-
1/4” (108mm) deep internal chase constructed above the fireplace.
Mantel installed above fireplace at maximum depth of 9” (229mm) / minimum height from floor; 47” (1194mm).
Even though temperature tests were performed, mantel depths, ceiling heights, and other factors will affect temperatures, the refore
we advise you to read the following paragraphs carefully before considering installing a television above your fireplace.
Most TV manufacturers specify in their instructions that a TV should not be installed on, near, or above a heat source. Television location
rests solely on the homeowner. Hussong Manufacturing will not be held liable for any adverse effects on a TV located near a Kozy Heat
Fireplace that may be caused by heat.
TV operating temperature is also affected by wall and mantle construction material. It is the customers responsibility to satisfy themselves
that their TV mounting and mantle design will not exceed the listed maximum operating temperature of their electronic goods.
