a wall, or any combustible materials, and 12" clearance from
the top of the fireplace to the underside of any combustible
shelf materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 1"
from the rear of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible
materials, and 26" to the underside of any combustible

Installing The Standoffs
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all
PL52DF*
gas
fireplaces are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.
The fireplace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install
these standoffs on top of the fireplace ensuring that the
height of the standoff maintains a 7 ½" clearance.
