Determining Mantel Clearances
If you meet minimum clearance requiments
between mantel shelf and top of fireplace
opening, a hood is not necessory (see Figure
6).
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance
When Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in figure 6 are not meet,
you must have a hood. When using a hood there
are still certain minimum mantel clearances
required. Follow minimum clearances shown in
Figure 7 when using a hood.
NOTICE: Surface temperature of adjacent
walls and mantels become hot during
operation. Walls and mantels above the
firebox may become too hot to touch. If
installed properly, these temperatures
meet the requirement of the national prod-
uct standard. Follow all minimum clear-
ances shown in this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does not meet
the minimum clearances shown, you must
do one of the following:
l
Operate the logs only with the flue
damper open.
l
Raise the mantel to an acceptable height.
FLOOR CLEARANCES
A.
If installing appliance on the floor level,
you must maintain the minimum distance
of 14" to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B.
If combustible materials are less than
14" to the fireplace, you must install ap
pliance at least 5" above the combus
tible flooring (see Figure 9 ).
