FINISHING MATERIAL

NOTE: Any wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and
optional fan) must be done prior to fi nal fi nishing to avoid
costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel,
FP3000
or other materials with a UL fi re rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F
minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials
to the black surface. If joints between the fi nished wall
and the fi replace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent)
must be used.
