Finishing

A. Facing Material
The fi replace structure can be covered with any non-
combustible material. Refer to Section 1.D.
It is possible for the face of the appliance above the ap-
pliance opening to show signs of soot. Clean that area as
frequently as necessary to eliminate a build up of soot or
permanent discoloration. A non-combustible ledge (shelf)
approximately 3 inches above the opening and a mini-
mum of 3 inches out from the face of the appliance incor-
porated into the facing material will help prevent the soot
from going up the wall.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible ma-
terials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with all
minimum clearances to combustibles as specifi ed in this
manual. Overlapping materials could ignite.
Note: The control box lid can be painted as desired.
Use sandpaper or other abrasive material to scuff
the surface prior to painting.
