Mantels & Surrounds

top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project
beyond shaded area shown
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN

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.
