Finishing Around the Fireplace
Non-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 20.
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.
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.
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, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and
radio components.
Side wall clearances are 6". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 6" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in
Figure 21
.
