Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following:
THE LOWER GAS CONTROL PANEL 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.
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.
