Mantel Clearances for Built-In

Installation

If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox, you must meet the minimum allowable clearance between mantel shelf and top of firebox opening shown in Figure 7. These are the minimum allowable mantel clearances for a safe installation. Use larger clearances wherever possible to minimize the heat- ing of objects and materials placed on the mantel.

CAUTION: Do not allow the vent-free gas log heater to touch or extend beyond the fireplace screen.

NOTICE: Surface temperatures ofadjacentwallsandmantelsbe- comehotduringoperation.Walls and mantels above the firebox may become hot to the touch. If installed properly, these tem- peratures meet the requirement of the national product standard. Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.

NOTICE: If your installation does notmeettheminimumclearances shown, you must do one of the following:

•raise the mantel to an accept- able height

•remove the mantel

BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION

Built-in installation of this firebox involves install- ing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of firebox flush with wall. Optional brass trim accessories are available (see Accessories, page 31). The brass trim will extend past sides of firebox approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing a mantel above the firebox, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 6, page 10. Follow the instructions below to install the firebox in this manner.
