WARNING
Fire hazard is an extreme risk if
these clearances are not adhered to.
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is
made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.

Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant"
or the paint may discolour.
