Finishing the Fireplace
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
NOTE: UNIT CANNOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL
Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 3" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 21.b

Flush Finishing the Fireplace
A noncombustible finishing material may be installed over the face of
the unit as shown below. Please be aware that the temperature of the
fireplace face will be extremely hot and could be subject to cracking in
seams of concrete board or tile installed directly on the face.
Please refer to the flush face finishing guide for more detailed
instructions.

IMPORTANT
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace with a non-
combustible material. Please note the decorative facing materials may
be subject to temperatures in excess of 250°F. This should be considered
when selecting facing materials.
WARNING
Do not place any materials or objects on top of the valve blind. Doing
so could result in failure of door relief system or heat dissipation.
