Section 3: Finishing

Note: Images are shown without screens for clarity purposes.
However, your fireplace should not be operated without proper
installation of screens.

Fireplace Facing

When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following:
If the surround of the fireplace is to be painted to match the room decor,
heat-resistant paint must be provided . Also, decorative facing must
not extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere
with the access to retainers for removal of glass door and access to
the lower compartment.
CAUTION
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated mantel
temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for example: candles, plastic
or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of
T.V. radio, and other electronic components.
