NotE: Any 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 surface of the appliance. A 300°F (150° C) minimum
adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the fin-
ished wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F (150° C) minimum sealant material
(General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
