Notes:
1. These are good faith recommended clearances only and not a guarantee of compliance with all TV manufacturers' maximum
allowable opera�ng temperatures.
2. Since every home has unique air flow characteris�cs and maximum allowable opera�ng temperatures can vary from manufacturer
to manufacturer and from model to model, actual TV temperatures should be validated at the �me of each installa�on.
TVs should not be used in situa�ons where the actual TV temperature exceeds the manufacturers' maximum allowable opera�ng
temperatures iden�fied in the TV's technical specifica�ons. Contact the TV's manufacturer directly if you cannot locate this
informa�on or have ques�ons regarding the informa�on.
3. Mantel height and depth must conform to mantel requirements specified in the appliance installa�on manual.
4.
Sugges�ons on how to further reduce TV temperatures:
a. Increase "A" dimension.
b. Increase "C" dimension, however, increasing "B" dimension beyond maximum recommended typically results in higher temperatures.
