final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of
Zero) may be used to cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring com-
bustible wall board to the top of the stand-offs on the top and the sides of the unit. A 300°F minimum
adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished
wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric
RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
