Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels

NOTE: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area
defined by the fireplace front face (black sheet metal). Non-combustible material up to 6 inches in depth, such
as surrounds may be positioned in front of or overlapping the fireplace face but they must not cover any portion
of the removable glass panel or impede the removal or installation of access door or barrier.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel (Figure 6). Mantels
constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the fireplace opening. However, do
not allow anything to hang below the fireplace hood.
Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the
fireplace.
NOTE: To avoid heat-related finish damage, we recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F or higher)
on the underside of the mantel.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

The fireplace is shipped with all gas controls and components installed and pre-wired. Before installing the fireplace,
follow these steps:
1. Remove the shipping carton, and retain the front of the carton (used to protect the fireplace during construction).
2. Remove the shipping pad, lower the access door and remove the barrier exposing the front glass door.
3. Remove the glass door (Pages 47 - 49).
NOTE: Place the glass door on the shipping carton to protect its surface.
NOTE: Barrier must be removed to remove the door. Barrier must be protected from damage and construction
dust and dirt.
