Attention: Add 3-3/4" to “A” dimensions when using a flush mantel base.

Attention: If a base or mantel is not used and the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, it shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance. The vertical dimension in Figure 11 must be adjusted when a metal or wood panel is placed beneath the appliance.

Finishing (Figure 12)

Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Only non- combustible materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front.

Warning: When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.

Caution: If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace surround.
