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 300ºF minimum sealant. Refer to Figure 13.3.

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

C. Finish and Sealing Joints

All joints between the finished wall sheathing and the ap- pliance must be sealed with non-combustible materials. Sealants, such as caulk or mastic used to seal the gap between the wall and the fireplace, should be rated at a minimum continuous exposure to 300ºF.

Finishing Around Opening with Gypsum Wallboard

Gypsum wallboard (drywall) joints adjacent to the fire- place opening, including the non-combustible board on the appliance, require special attention to minimize crack- ing. When installing gypsum wallboard around the fire- place, install the hole for the fireplace opening in a single wallboard sheet, if possible. This will minimize the joints adjacent to the fireplace opening.

Tape wall board joints around the fireplace opening with fiberglass-mesh tape. It will provide a more crack-resis- tant joint than paper tape. Fill, smooth and finish wall joints with chemically setting-type joint compound. It will provide a more crack-resistant joint than air-drying light- weight compound.

Painting

If desired finishing includes a painted wall, 100% acrylic latex with compatible primer is recommended around this appliance. Oil-based or standard acrylic paints may dis- color due to heat exposure.
