Heat & Glo RED60 Owner's Manual page 69

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specifi ed air space
clearances to combustibles.
Inadequate air space may cause overheating and fi re.
Ensure that the one inch back clearance and one inch
side clearances are maintained.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use screws longer
than two inches when attaching fi nishing materials to
non-combustible material. Screws longer than two inches
will compromise clearance and may cause overheating
and fi re.
CAUTION! Risk of Glass Damage and Cuts! DO NOT
drill or install any type of screw or fastener into the lower
cover panel. Sharp screw or fastener tips may penetrate
and break the glass or cause cuts.
The RED60 comes standard with a mesh front. The fi nal
fi replace installation can be accomplished by either the
"overlap" or "inside-fi t" method. Reference Section 13.D
regarding installation details associated with the Inside
and Overlap Fit methods.
If the fi nal fi replace installation uses the Overlap Method,
wall sheathing material 1/2 in thick is specifi ed and can
be installed tight to the side fi nishing fl anges and factory-
supplied non-combustible board. If the fi nal fi replace in-
stallation uses the Inside-Fit Method, additional clearance
must be maintained between combustible 1/2 in. thick
wall sheathing material and the side fi nishing fl anges.
See Section 13.D regarding installation details associat-
ed with the Inside and Overlap Fit methods and specifi ed
additional non-combustible materials required.
When fi nishing the wall around the fi replace, it is critical
that wall sheathing be fastened properly. Wall sheath-
ing fasteners, such as screws or nails, are not permitted
in some locations. See Figure 13.3. It is acceptable to
pre-drill holes and use self-tapped screws in the factory-
installed non-combustible board which may be used to
lathe (a backer for tile, marble, etc.) Screws being in-
stalled through the factory-installed non-combustible
board should be self-tapping type with a maximum length
of 2 inches. See Figure 13.3. Do not drill or install screws
which may penetrate the lower cover panel as this will
restrict required access to the glass and lower control
chamber. See Figure 13.3.
The appliance is designed to mate with 1/2 in. wall sheath-
ing materials such as drywall, plywood, wood composites,
or non-combustible materials. The type of material used
depends whether the installation is an Inside or Overlap
Fit method. Reference Section 13.D regarding installation
details associated with the Inside an Overlap Fit methods.
Verify that the lower cover panel is installed correctly,
and that there are no screws used to attach drywall to
the panel.
Figure 13.3 Finishing Details
Sealing Joints
Depending upon the fi nal fi nishing method, use a mini-
mum rated 300 degree sealant, drywall compound, or thin
set to seal the side and top joints.
Painting
If the desired fi nishing includes a painted wall, it is recom-
mended that a 100% acrylic latex paint, with compatible
primer, be used around this fi replace. Oil-based and stan-
dard latex paints may discolor due to heat exposure.
