Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance
when Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 (see page 11)
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 a 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.
