Minimum Clearances For Side Combustible
Material, Side Wall, and Ceiling
A. Clearances from the side of the fireplace cabinet to any combustible material and wall should follow diagram in Figure 4.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf, etc. is made of combustible material and protrudes 3 1/2" from the wall. This combus- tible material must be 4" from the side of the fireplace cabinet (see Figure 4).
Note: When installing your gas logs into a manufactured firebox, follow firebox manufacturer’s instructions for minimum clearances to combustible materials.
B. Clearances from the top of the fireplace opening to the ceiling should not be less than 42".
NOTICE: Manual control heaters maybeusedasaventedproduct. If so, you must always run heater with chimney flue damper open. If running heater with damper open, noncombustible material above fireplace opening is not needed. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation, page 11.

If Not Using Mantel
Note: If using a mantel, proceed to If Using Mantel, page 10 If not using a mantel, follow the information below.
You must have noncombustible material(s) above both fireplace openings. Noncombustible materi- als (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2" thick. With sheet metal, you must have noncombustible material behind it. Noncombus- tible material must extend at least 8" up (for all models). If noncombustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory. See 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 11.
