Because of the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical.
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit are shown in the diagram below.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-combustible board.
Note: Mantel starts at *1" deep and end at *12" deep. **For Vignette with Vignette Finishing Trim flush finish, all materials (framing & finishing) below the
mantel and the width of the trim (34- 1/16") must be non-combustible if a lower mantel is desired.
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.
