note: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to
final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating
of Zero) may be used to cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring
combustible wall board to the top and side edges of the black painted face. A 300°F minimum
adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished
wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric
RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
