Mantel Requirements

COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS

Combustible mantels may be installed above the fireplace. Use the table below to determine the
minimum height for the mantel being used. The mantel depth (measured from the non-combustible
facing) must fall within the shaded portion of the table.

Any combustible material above the fireplace that protrudes more than 3/4" (19mm) from the non-
combustible facing is considered a combustible mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.

Non-Combustible Mantels

Non-combustible mantels must meet the clearances listed for combustible mantels. However, if you do
wish to reduce the clearances by using a non-combustible mantel, the following requirements must be met:

Non-combustible
mantel and facing
must extend from the
top of the appliance to
the top surface of the
mantel.

A non-combustible
header must be used
(metal stud).
NOTE: If using a CoolSmart TV kit see section "Mantel Clearances with CoolSmart TV" on page 58.
