Facing Material
• Facing and/or finishing materials must not interfere with
air flow through decorative barrier fronts.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must never overhang
into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
NOTICE:
The location of the Passive Heat discharge
opening could allow for venting and other construction
materials to be visible. It is acceptable to paint the vent pipe
and other construction materials using a high temperature
paint with a minimum of 300 °F continuous exposure rating.
Hearth & Home Technologies recommends using black
touch up paint (part number TUP-GBK-12) available from
your Hearth & Home Technologies dealer.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain specified air space
clearances to combustibles.
Failure to comply with
these instructions may cause a fire or cause the appli-
ance to overheat.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain specified air space
clearances to combustibles. Inadequate air space could
cause overheating and fire.
Drywall Joint-Crack Prevention and Repair
Drywall joints around the fireplace will be affected by ex
-
posure to elevated temperatures, along with other envi
-
ronmental, structural factors due to new construction, and
methods used to install and finish the drywall. If a crack
does emerge adjacent to the fireplace, it can be perma
-
nently repaired by filling it with a paintable latex caulk,
followed by repainting.
Some movement of the screws used to secure the non-
combustible board to the appliance/surround framing is
expected. If a blemish begins to show over a screw head,
sand the surface to remove the blemish and repaint.
Finishing - Hearth
See Inside Fit or Overlap Method sections to determine
the necessary requirements for installation of a non-
combustible hearth for this model. Only hearths made of
non-combustible materials are allowed.
Decorative facing material thickness is measured from
the face of the installed non-combustible board. See
Figure 10.2 and Figure 10.3.
The fronts for this appliance are compatible with non-
combustible materials. See Figure 10.2 and Figure 10.3.
Refer to Section 1.E and 1.F of this manual for definitions
and qualifications of non-combustible and combustible
materials.
Specific requirements for each method of installation are
described in this section.
Installation of finishing materials can be accomplished
by either the “overlap” or “inside-fit” method, depending
on what type of decorative barrier front is to be installed.
See Figure 10.2 and 10.3. Overlap fit decorative barrier
fronts include the Quattro and Loft Forge. The Clean
Face Trim Front (CFT) can be either an inside fit or an
overlap fit. See Table 1.
