mantel extension is the distance the mantel extends from the fireplace facing. The mantel
clearance is the distance from the fireplace opening to the bottom of the mantel.)
Any other combustible or noncombustible extension or trim extending from the fireplace
facing of any fireplace in which this appliance is installed must comply with (1) local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of ANSI/NFPA 211 if the fireplace
