WARNING
Risk of Fire!
DO NOT apply combustible materials beyond the min-
imum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearanc-
es to combustibles as specified in this manual. Ma-
terials overlapping into non-combustible zones could
ignite and will interfere with air flow through decorative
barrier fronts.
• Metal front of appliance may be covered with non-
combustible materials only.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must not interfere
with air flow through decorative barrier fronts, removal
of decorative barrier fronts or access for service.
• Facing and/or finishing materials must never
overhang into the glass opening.
• Observe all clearances when applying combustible
materials.
• Confirm that appliance is plum, square and level.
See Section 6.
• Seal gaps between the finished wall and appliance
top and sides using a 300 ºF minimum sealant. Refer
to Figure 10.1 and Figure 10.2.
• Finishing materials must be installed with no gaps
in order to prevent the escape of heat between the
finishing material and the wall. See Figure 10.2.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures around the appliance
will 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.
When using combustible flooring materials, such as car-
peting and padding, the combustible flooring material
must not extend higher than one inch from the base of the
appliance when the appliance is mounted at floor level.
