MANTEL CLEARANCES

In addition to meeting noncombustible material
clearances, you must also meet required clearances
between fireplace opening and mantel shelf. 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 clearances shown in Figure 7
when using hood.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures
of adjacent walls and mantels
become hot during operation.
Walls and mantels above the
firebox may become hot to
the touch. If installed properly,
these temperatures meet the
requirement of the national
product standard. Follow all
minimum clearances shown in
this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clear-
ances 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

must maintain the minimum distance of 14"
to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14" to

least 5" above the combustible flooring (see
