WARNING
!
• Your appliance, gas/electrical connections, venting and various key components are hidden behind the wall. It is
critical that no screws penetrate these components. Failure to follow instructions may cause improper operation,
damage, personal injury or fi re. Always use a stud fi nder and only screw into studs.
Without making adequate provisions to account for the heat, the temperatures above the fi replace will be hot, making
it unsuitable for mounting a TV or other objects sensitive to heat without risk of damage.
Installing a mantel between this appliance and electronics or other materials that may be sensitive to heat will reduce
the effect of direct heat on them.
The size and material of the mantel will affect the allowable clearance above your fi replace and incorrect placement
could become a fi re hazard. Consult your installation manual and/or authorized dealer for more information before
mounting a mantel, a shelf or any other object above your appliance.
Your fi replace, gas/electrical connections and vent are hidden directly behind the fi nished wall. Great care should be
taken to avoid screwing or nailing into these components. Always use a stud fi nder to determine stud location and
only screw into studs.
Do not screw into the area around the fi replace opening as some of your appliance may be hidden behind the
fi nished wall. Refer to your installation manual and/or contact your local dealer for more information.
