of the following:

•  raise the mantel to an accept-

able height

•  remove the mantel

NOTICE: Surface temperatures 

of adjacent walls and mantels 

become hot during operation. 

Walls and mantels above the 

firebox may become hot to the 

touch. If installed properly, 

these temperatures meet the 

requirement of the national 

product standard. Follow all 

minimum clearances shown in 

this manual.
