Mantels; Framing - Temco TBREF36 Homeowner's Installation & Operating Manual

Mantels

The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For correct mounting height and width, refer to Figure
2a and 2b.
The distances and reference points are not affected by
the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat-resistant to prevent dis-
coloration.
