Fireplace Clearances

A fireplace installation requires special clearance be- tween the side of the stove and the right and left walls, the side of the stove and the decorative side trim on the fireplace face, and the top of the stove and the mantel.

Maximum Mantel depth (A, Fig. 20) of a combustible mantel is 9” (230 mm). At that depth, the clearance to the stove top (B) must be a minimum of 22¹⁄₂" (572 mm).

Top Trim (C) protruding less than 1¹⁄₂" (38mm) from the face of the fireplace must be a minimum of 12" (305mm) from the stove top. This clearance may not be reduced by shielding.

For every 1¹⁄₂" (38 mm) increment that the trim or man- tel extends in depth, the clearance from the stove top must also be increased by 1¹⁄₂" (38 mm).

Side Trim must have a minimum clearance of 8"

(203 mm), measured from the stove's top edge. (D, Fig. 20)

Alcove Clearances

The Aspen is approved for installation into an alcove constructed to maintain the clearances diagramed in Figure 21.
