Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic
reasons. However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing
standards do not require hearth extensions for gas
fireplace appliances.

Installing the Trim

Combustible materials may be brought up to the
specified clearances on the side and top front edges
of the fireplace, but MUST NEVER overlap onto the
front face. The joints between the finished wall and
the fireplace top and sides can only be sealed with a
300 F. (149 C) minimum sealant.

WARNING
WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE
AIR INLET/OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY
MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits
as desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-
combustible materials can be used to cover up the
gap between the sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles.
When overlapping on both sides, leave enough
space so that the bottom grille can be lowered and
the trim door removed.
