Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following: THE LOWER GAS CONTROL PANEL
MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air
supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger it also
prevents access for servicing controls.
Decorative facing must not extend past the fireplace opening at all,
because it will interfere with the access to retainers for removal of
glass door.
