Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in fi rebox,
you must meet the minimum allowable clear-
ance between mantel shelf and top of fi rebox
opening shown in
Figure 7, Page 12
. These
are the minimum allowable mantel clearances
for a safe installation. Use larger clearances
wherever possible to minimize the heating of
objects and materials placed on the mantel.

fi rebox directly on carpet or vinyl.
CAUTION: Do not allow the vent-
free gas log heater to touch or extend
beyond the fi replace screen.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures of ad-
jacent walls and mantels become hot
during operation. Walls and mantels
above the fi rebox may become hot to
the touch. If installed properly, these
temperatures meet the requirement
of the national product standard. Fol-

NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clearances
shown, you must do one of the fol-
lowing:
• raise the mantel to an acceptable
height
• remove the mantel
