MANTEL CLEARANCES
Due to the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in
the diagram on the right.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be
installed at a lower height if the framing
is made of metal studs covered with a
non-combustible board.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel
and the facing is "High Quality" or the paint
may discolour.
