Side trim must have a minimum clearance of 8" (200 mm), measured from the stove's top side edge. In this case, ventilated shielding will not provide protection to allow clearance reduction.
In addition, a fireplace installation must observe the floor protection guidelines discussed previously.
The charts and sample installations on the following pages list the clearances required for various installa- tion configurations of the Resolute Acclaim.
Fireplace Installations
A fireplace installation requires special clearance between the side of the stove and the right and left walls, the side of the stove and the decorative side trim on the fireplace face, and the top of the stove and the mantel.
Ventilated shields (noncombustible) shields installed on noncombustible spacers 1" (25 mm) away from the combustible surface may be used to reduce clear- ances. (Fig. 14) A mantel shield for the Resolute Acclaim must be at least 48" (1220 mm) long, centered over the stove. Side trim shields must extend the full length of the trim. (Fig. 15)

An unprotected mantel ("A" ,Fig. 15) must have a minimum clearance of 36" (915 mm), measured from the stove's top plate. With a ventilated shield the clearance may safely be reduced to 30" (760 mm). Maximum depth of the mantel is 9" (230 mm).
Unprotected top trim (B) protruding 1¹⁄₂" (40 mm) or less from the face of the fireplace must be a minimum of 28" (710 mm) from the stove's top surface. This clearance may not be reduced by shielding. If top trim protrudes more than 1¹⁄₂" (40 mm) the mantel clearances of 36" (915 mm) unshielded and 30" (760 mm) shielded must be used.
