B. Finishing Checklist

•Power supply service must be either completed or placed within the heater prior to finishing to avoid reconstruction. Wall switch wires (hardwired heaters only) must also be completed to avoid reconstruction. See Section “4. Wiring”.

•Combustible material may cover the black outer surface by 1/2 in. on the 120V heaters only. See Figure 6.2.

•Combustible material may not cover the black outer surface on 240V heaters. See Figure 6.3

•Grilles and air openings cannot be covered in any circumstances.

•Noncombustible material may cover all black outer surfaces. Grilles and air openings may not be covered.

•Protective cover may stay on during framing, but must be removed before final finishing. Once final finishing has been completed, the protective cover can be used to protect heater until final installation is complete.

Note: The heater is a zero clearance fireplace and may be finished with combustible or noncombustible finishing materials.

When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, they must be heat-resistant to prevent discoloration.
