Section:
WARNING!
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass
etching may cause premature glass failure.
WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects
of elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of
product design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This
can cause melting, deformation, discolouration or premature
failure of T.V. radio, and other electronic components.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS FIREPLACE WITHOUT
THE GLASS DOOR OR WITH A BROKEN GLASS
DOOR.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, up
to 4" (
as shown, Fig.23
) with a non-combustible material
Please Note
: The decorative facing materials may be
subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F. This should be
considered when selecting facing materials.
Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over
the top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not
project beyond shaded area shown in
Figure 23
.
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following:
THE OPENING MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air
supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger
it also prevents access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must
not extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere
with the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Section 6: Finishing
Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE:
National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models
of fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
