Attention:
Add 3-3/4" to “A” dimensions when using a flush
mantel base.
Attention:
If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance
is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible
material other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a
metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of
the appliance. The vertical dimension in
Figure 11
must be
adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the
appliance.
Finishing (Figure 12)
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Only
non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black
fireplace front.
WARNING
When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify
the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide
adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber.
Caution:
If the joints between the finished wall and the fire
-
place surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material must be used. These joints are not required
to be sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F
minimum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to
the fireplace surround.
