FINISHING
MANTEL
Depending on the width of the mantel, it may be installed higher or lower from the top of the louvre opening. See drawing and chart below for proper installation height of your combustible mantel piece.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.

4.Remove the two screws from the sides of the fire- place and attach the nail- ing tabs with the screws.
5.To determine the final location of the nailing tab, you must first determine
the thickness of your fin- ishing material (i.e. drywall) This will determine the dimension from the con-
trol panel front edge to the nailing tab. Secure with a sheet metal screw supplied.

Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the
fireplace body, it is recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure be “finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
