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 accessory | |||||||||||||||
| (24" and 30" models 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 Accessory | |||||||||||||||
| for Vented Operation, page 13. |
