INSTALLATION

If Using Mantel
You must have noncombustible material(s)
above the fireplace opening. Noncombustible
materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must
be at least 1/2" thick. With sheet metal, you
must have noncombustible material behind it.
Noncombustible material must extend at least
8 inches up (for all models). If noncombustible
material is less than 12", you must install the
fireplace hood accessory. Even if noncombus -
tible material is more than 12", you may need
the hood accessory to deflect heat away from
your mantel shelf. See Figure 5, and Figures
6 and 7 (page 11) for minimum clearances.
IMPORTANT: If you cannot meet these mini-
mum clearances, you must operate heater
with chimney flue damper open. Go to Install-
ing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented
Operation , page 11.
MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible mate-
rial clearances, you must also meet required
clearances between fireplace opening and
mantel shelf. If you do not meet the clearances
listed below, you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between
mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not required (see Figure 6).
