Hearth Extension
- A hearth extension is not required with this appliance.
If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control compartment
door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not
have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.
Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels
NOTE:
Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must
not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face
(black sheet metal).
Never allow combustible materials to be positioned
in front of or overlapping the appliance face
(see
Figure 6 on Page 9
and Figure 27
on
Page 22
).
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim,
may be installed on the appliance face with these exceptions: they must not
cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according
to the depth of the mantel. See
Figure 5
. Mantels constructed of non-
combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance
opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the fireplace hood.
Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves,
window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.
NOTE:
To avoid heat-related finish damage, we recommend the use of high
temperature paint (rated 175° F or higher) on the underside of the mantel.
