B. Facing Material

Metal front faces may be covered with non-combustible materials only.

Facing and/or finishing materials must not interfere with air flow through louvers, operation of louvers or doors, or access for service.

Facing and/or finishing materials must never overhang into the glass opening.

Observe all clearances when applying combustible materials.

Seal joints between the finished wall and appliance top and sides using a 300 °F minimum sealant. Refer to Figure 13.3.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT apply combustible ma- terials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified in this manual. Overlapping materials could ignite and will inter- fere with proper operation of doors and louvers.
