Minimum Non Combustible Material Clearances
If Using Mantel
You must have non combustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Non
combustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch
thick. With sheet metal, you must have non combustible material behind it. Non
combustible material must extend at least 8 inches up (for all models). If non
combustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory
(24" and 30" models only). Even if non combustible material is more than 12", you
may need the hood accessory to deflect heat away from your mantel shelf. See
chart below and Figures 6 and 7 for minimum clearances.
IMPORTANT:
If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate
heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory
for Vented Operation, page 13.
