Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over the
top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not project
beyond shaded area shown in Figure 6. Side wall clearances are 8
cm. Combustible surrounds may be installed with an 8cm clearance to
the side of the fireplace as shown in Figure 7.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following: THE BOTTOM GRILL MUST NOT BE
OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for
the control compartments and it also prevents access for servic-
ing controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of screen door.

Mantels & Surrounds
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
fireplaces which are hot, fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above nor-
mal room temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause
melting, deformation, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and
radio components.

Installation
Association, when painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and ap-
ply a quality Alkyd sealer prior to the applying of latex paints. This is
to prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a brownish
staining effect to paint over coats.
