MANTEL
Masonry and other non-combustible mantels (shelf and posts) can be placed anywhere on and around the fireplace
facing, without blocking any of the bottom and top louvers unless you install the appropriate options (see the
"Mandatory Options with Top louver blocked" section).
For combustible mantel shelves, please see Table 1 (J-K) for the maximum depth and its installation clearance
requirements. See Figure 1 for an example.
Vertical mantel posts on the sides of the fireplace opening must be non-combustible. Combustible mantel posts are
not permitted unless they meet the clearance required to a perpendicular sidewall (see Table 1 (B)).
The only combustible material accepted below the minimum clearance for combustible materials above the fireplace
(see Table 1 (L)) is for a mantel shelf.
REFRACTORY BRICKS' INSTALLATION
The refractory bricks come pre-installed. These instructions show the order for the refractory bricks' installation. For
removal, simply follow these instructions in the reverse order, see Figure 18.
Small cracks and wear in the refractory bricks do not require refractory bricks replacement. Replacement need only
happen when the refractory bricks have missing pieces (chunks) or when the metal of the firebox is visible through
the bricks.
