Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance
when Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 (page 11) are
not met, 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 temperatures
of adjacent walls and mantels be-
come hot during operation. Walls
and mantels above the firebox
may become hot to the touch.
If installed properly, these tem-
peratures meet the requirement
of the national product standard.
Follow all minimum clearances
shown in this manual.
