Use of the Cool Surface System is highly recommended when mounting a TV or delicate artwork
above the appliance. If the system is not desired, some considerations must be made to ensure above objects
are protected from the heat. A recess, mantel, or a combination of both will be needed for heat protection.
During testing temperatures did not exceed 120F° over ambient in a 3 1/2” deep recess. There
is no guarantee that these temperatures will not harm the longevity of your TV. Make sure to consult your
TV manufacture’s specifications to find the maximum allowable operating temperature. Since every home and
installation is unique, temperatures should be verified at the time of install. A TV should not be installed if
temperatures exceed the manufacturers maximum allowable temperature.
Mantel Only Installation:
Always maintain minimum clearances (see Figure 59). The total depth of the TV
including the wall mount will determine the minimum allowable mantel depth.
Recess/Mantel Installation:
Always maintain minimum clearances (see Figure 60). The total depth of the TV
and wall mount as well as the recess depth will determine the minimum whether or not a mantel is recommended.
A mantel may not be needed if the TV and Mount are low profile enough.
A mantle is not mandatory, but highly recommended for protection of a TV. If choosing to not use a mantel you
should place the TV as high up the wall as possible. Please consult the TV manufacture’s specifications to find the
maximum allowable operating temperature. Temperatures should be confirmed on site after an extended burn.
