Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above
the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel.
For the correct mounting height and widths, refer to
Figure 5.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance. When
using paint or lacquer, it must be heat resistant to
prevent discoloration.

WARNING: Combustible objects must not be placed
on a noncombustible mantel unless the noncombus-
tible mantel meets the minimum height and width
requirements for a combustible mantel.
Surround Material
When using materials around the face of the fireplace,
these materials must be suitable to withstand the
temperatures which they will encounter. Also these
materials must not extend out in front of the face of the
unit, in effect recessing the unit.
If the material used for surround is not flush with the
face of the unit, then the optional surround kits will not
fit properly.
It is recommended that any material used to surround
the face of the fireplace be noncombustible (i.e. ce-
ramic tile, brick, natural stone, etc.). Combustible
materials such as drywall, are permissible.
Hearth
A hearth is not mandatory, but is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible
hearth projecting 12” (305mm) or more in front of the
fireplace.
Although a hearth is not mandatory, (as surface tem-
peratures of combustibles are tested) surface tempera-
tures of flooring (carpeting, tiel, varnish, etc.) may
reach a point where damage to some surfaces may
result.
For example:
•
carpeting may buckle and discolor
•
vinyl tile may discolor and unglue
•
varnishes, waxes, etc. on wood flooring may dis-
color
