Finishing Material:
NOTE
Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to
avoid costly reconstruction.
WARNING
Never obstruct or modify the air inlet or outlet grills (louvers) in any manner as it may create a fire hazard.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be
used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials
to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300° F minimum
sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must be used. Refer to Figure 7.
