NOTE: Fireplace may be installed on top of framing or platform constructed of combustible materials which do not protrude beyond the face.

Finishing Material

NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.

Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be used to cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring combustible wall board to the top of the standoffs on the top and the sides of the unit. A 300°F minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must be used.
