Finishing
A. Facing Material
The
fi
replace structure
can be covered with any non-
combustible material. Refer to Section 1.D.
It is possible for the face of the appliance above the ap-
pliance opening to show signs of soot. Clean that area as
frequently as necessary to eliminate a build up of soot or
permanent discoloration. A non-combustible ledge (shelf)
approximately 3 inches above the opening and a mini-
mum of 3 inches out from the face of the appliance incor-
porated into the facing material will help prevent the soot
from going up the wall.
Note:
The control box lid can be painted as desired.
Use sandpaper or other abrasive material to scuff
the surface prior to painting.
B. Mantel and Wall Projections
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Comply with all minimum clear-
ances to combustibles as speci
fi

material closer than the minimums listed must be con-
structed entirely of noncombustible materials (i.e., steel
studs, concrete board, etc.).
Figure 7.1 shows the dimensions for mantels or other
combustible projections above the appliance opening.
