You must have non combustible material(s) above the fireplace opening. Non combus- tible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have non combustible material behind it. Non combustible mate- rial must extend at least 8" up (for all mod- els). If non combustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory (24" and 30" models only). See chart on page 7, column 1 and Figure 5 for minimum clearances.
IMPORTANT: If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation, page 8.
