Appliance And Vent Clearances

The appliance is approved with zero clearance to combustible materials
on all sides (as detailed in Table 5), with the following exception: When
the unit is installed with one side flush with a wall, the wall on the
other side of the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the
unit (see Figure 2).

*NOTE: 3" (77 mm) above any inclined vent component.
**NOTE: See Page 11, Step 1 and Figure 8 for clearance requirements
to the nailing flange located at each side of the unit and any screw
heads adjacent to it.
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.
