Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel
clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from
top of unit are shown in Diagram to the right.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the
framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
This drawing is to scale at 1:6 (one inch = 6 inches)
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded area or higher using
this scale.
Caution: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is
"heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.
* If the 3" metal extension trim is removed it must be replaced
with a 3" non-combustible material.

WARNING:
Fire hazard is an extreme risk
