Finishing
A. Facing and Finishing
• Metal front faces may be covered with non-combustible
materials only.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must not interfere with
air flow through louvers, operation of louvers or doors,
or access for service.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must never overhang
into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
• Seal joints between the finished wall and appliance top
and sides using a 300 ºF minimum sealant. Refer to
Figure 10.1.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible
materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with
all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified in
this manual. Overlapping materials could ignite and will
interfere with proper operation of doors and louvers.

become warm while the appliance is in operation. Ensure
finishing materials used for all surfaces (floor, walls,
mantels, etc.) will withstand temperatures up to 190°F.
