TOA Electronics SSDV-3328 Minimum Clearances to Combustibles, Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels

Minimum Clearances to Combustibles

Hearth Extension - A hearth extension is not required with this appliance. If a hearth extension is used, do not block the lower control compartment door. Any hearth extension used is for appearance only and does not have to conform to standard hearth extension installation requirements.

Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels

Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defined by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance front face. See Figure 57 on Page 31.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel or louvers.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 8. Mantels constructed of non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the hood.

Appliance and Vent Clearances

The appliance is approved with zero clearance to combustible materials on all sides (as detailed in Table 8), with the following exception: When the unit is installed with one side flush with a wall, the wall on the other side of the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the unit. Refer to Figure 4.
