MANTEL CLEARANCES

In addition to meeting noncombustible ma-
terial clearances, you must also meet
required clearances between fireplace open-
ings and mantel shelf on each side of the
fireplace. If you do not meet the clearances
listed below, you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between
mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not required (see Figure 6).
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance When Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not
met, you must have a hood. When using a
hood there are still certain minimum mantel
clearances required. Follow minimum clear-
ances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clearances
shown, you must do one of the
following:
• operate the logs only with the
flue damper open
• raise the mantel to an accept-
able height
• remove the mantel

FLOOR CLEARANCES

A. If installing appliance on the floor level,
you must maintain the minimum dis-
tance of 14" to combustibles (see Fig-
ure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than
14" to the fireplace, you must install
appliance at least 5" above the combus-
tible flooring (see Figure 9).
