FINISHING MATERIAL

NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch,
and optional fan) must be done prior to 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 combustible wall board to the top of
the standoffs on the top and to the wall board stand-offs
on 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.
