Congratulations on your purchase of a HY-C Adjustable Fireplace Hood. The purpose of this product is to protect
adjacent combustible surfaces from the high heat output associated with fireplaces. It is imperative the product

clearances are determined by your appliance. If you do not have a copy of the manual, please follow the following
guidelines.
• Non-Combustible materials must extend 8" to 12" above the fireplace opening for the entire width of the
opening. Any combustible materials within this area could be a fire risk.
• The FAH-BLK is adjustable to fit openings of 28" to 48". CAUTION: Use care when aligning the sections of
the hood to not damage the finish. Layout the three sections on a flat surface to achieve the desired length of
the hood. For the best appearance, be sure to maintain equal sections on the right and left sides of the center
section.
