Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above
the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel.
For the correct mounting height and widths, refer to
Figure 5.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance. When
using paint or lacquer, it must be heat resistant to
prevent discoloration.

* Ceiling height is the minimum height of the room ceiling in front of
the fireplace measured from the top front edge of the fireplace.
Combustible Sidewall Clearance
The perpendicular combustible sidewall or mantel
support leg (surround) clearance is 1
³⁄₄
” (45mm) from
the edge of the recessed door opening.
WARNING: Combustible objects must not be placed
on a noncombustible mantel unless the noncombus-
tible mantel meets the minimum height and width
requirements for a combustible mantel.
Surround Material
When using materials around the face of the fireplace,
these materials must be suitable to withstand the
temperatures which they will encounter. Also these
materials must not extend out in front of the face of the
unit, in effect recessing the unit.
If the material used for surround is not flush with the
face of the unit, then the optional surround kits will not
fit properly.

Materials such as cultured marble or other synthetic
materials are not recommended as they may discolor,
warp or create odor as a result of exposure to the
temperatures of the front of the fireplace.
5. Drywall can be extended flush on the bottom, top
and to the outermost part of the sides of the fire-
place.
6. If you are installing the top vent unit with a 90
°
elbow installed, the minimum clearance to combus-
tibles directly above the 90
°
elbow is 2” (51mm)
7. Noncombustible materials such as brick and tile can
be extended across the face of the fireplace. If
brass trim kit is going to be installed, brick and tile
will have to be installed flush with the front of this
appliance.
It is recommended that any material used to surround
the face of the fireplace be noncombustible (i.e. ce-
ramic tile, brick, natural stone, etc.). Combustible
materials such as drywall, are permissible.
