Section 6: Finishing

Mantels & Surrounds
Non-combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over
the top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not
project beyond shaded area shown

Fireplace Facing

When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN
ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for the control compartments
and heat exchanger it also prevents access for servicing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.

CAUTION
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause
melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. radio,
and other electronic components.
WARNING
Fireplaces cannot be recessed into a wall cavity.

Finishing around the fireplace

NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware, temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
NOTE: UNIT CANNOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL
Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 3" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown.

Flush Finishing
the Fireplace
A noncombustible finishing
material may be installed over
the face of the unit as shown.
Please be aware that the
temperature of the fireplace
face will be extremely hot and
could be subject to cracking in
seams of concrete board or tile
installed directly on the face.
Please refer to the flush face
finishing guide for more
detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace with a non-
combustible material. Please note the decorative facing materials may
be subject to temperatures in excess of 250°F. This should be considered
when selecting facing materials.
