13 Finishing

A. Splatter Guard

The splatter guard is a piece of corrugated mate- rial used to protect the appliance during the installa- tion process before ﬁnishing work on the whole hearth is complete. A splatter guard is factory installed on RED40 and RED40ST models. Splatter guards must be removed before appliance is ﬁred.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Remove the splatter guard be- fore lighting the appliance. Shut off gas to the appliance when the splatter guard is in place to prevent accidental operation.

B. Framing and Finishing Instructions

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear- ances to combustibles as speciﬁed. Framing closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncom- bustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc.).

Finishing Instructions

It is important to follow the framing and ﬁnishing instruc- tions to ensure proper placement of ﬁreplace into the sur- rounding framing/ﬁnishing materials.

Wall sheathing materials 1/2 in. thick are speciﬁed in this installation manual to properly align with the factory-in- stalled non-combustible material.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove the factory- installed non-combustible board or cover it with combus- tible material, such as:

•Drywall (gypsum board)

•Plywood

•Materials that do not meet the ASTM E 136 Non-com- bustibility standard (below).

Removal of factory-installed, non-combustible board and/ or use of materials not meeting the ASTM E 136 standard may cause ﬁre.

Non-Combustible Materials Speciﬁcation

Material which will not ignite and burn. Such materials are those consisting entirely of steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plasters, or any combination thereof.

Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136,

Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 ºC and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain speciﬁed air space clearances to combustibles.

Inadequate air space may cause overheating and ﬁre.

Ensure that the one inch back clearance and one inch side clearances are maintained.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT use screws longer than two inches when attaching ﬁnishing materials to non-combustible material. Screws longer than two inches will compromise clearance and may cause overheating and ﬁre.
