INSTALLATION INFORMATION

FINISHING MATERIAL
NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final
finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may
be used to cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring combustible wall board to the
top and side edges of the black painted face. A 300°F minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials
to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
VENT INSTALLATION
Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. Failure
to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. Operation of
improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury,
property damage or loss of life.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
