of the fireplace to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 9" clearance
from the top of the fireplace to the underside of any combustible shelf
materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 0" from the rear
of the unit to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 17 1/2" to the

fireplace enclosure.

Installing The Standoffs

To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all P42DF* gas
fireplaces are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.
The fireplace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install these
standoffs on top of the fireplace ensuring that the height of the standoff
maintains a 7 1/2" clearance.
