Heat resistant material (minimum requirements) with no wooden mantel or other combustible projection:
To install the gas logs into a fireplace with no wooden mantel, shelf or other combustible projection
above the fireplace opening, measure the heat resistant material height, per Figure 4, then refer to
TABLE A.
Heat resistant materials such as slate and marble must be at least 1/2" thick. Sheet metal should not
be installed onto combustible material.
IMPORTANT:
If you cannot meet these minimum clearances you must operate the heater with chim-
ney flue damper open. Refer to "Installing Vented Applications" found on page 14.
