WARNING

Never obstruct or modify the air inlet or outlet grills (louvers). This may create a fire hazard.

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. 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. Combustibles may come to the top and side edges but not overlay the face.
