to combustibles are met and the required finishing materials are used, this appliance will perform safely. Note that the exposed
surfaces immediately surrounding the Fireplace can have surface temperatures that are too hot to touch. This level of surface
temperature is considered normal and does not indicate any hazardous situation.
