Minimum Non Combustible Material Clearances

If Using Mantel

You must have non combustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Non combustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have non combustible material behind it. Non combustible material must extend at least 8 inches up (for all models). If non combustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood acces- sory (24" model only). Even if non combustible material is more than 12", you may need the hood accessory to deflect heat away from your mantel shelf. See chart below and Figures 6 and 7 for minimum clearances.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Acces- sory for Vented Operation, page 13.
