Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test
requirements are for fire hazard prevention to combustible
materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government
demands for the wise use of energy, has prompted us to
manufacture many models of fireplaces which are hot, fuel
and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above
normal room temperature and walls above fireplace may be
hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects
of elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of
product design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This
can cause melting, deformation, discoloration or premature
failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Dec-
orators Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds,
to select and apply a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the apply-
ing of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water from
evaporation and causing a brownish staining effect to paint
over coats.

Fireplace Mantle
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is
important to remember the following:
THE RELIEF OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN
ANY WAY
Non combustible material cannot extend over the fireplace
mantel, an must meet the minimum requirements for a
combustible mantel.
Note: When using paint to finish the mantel it must be heat
resistant (to 50F to prevent discolortion).
