CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances for the Zero Clearance Kit are 0" to combustibles (back, side and floor) but when planning your installation review the clearances required for the Insert (see below) after it is installed in the Zero Clearance Kit.
Clearances to Combustibles for Insert
The minimum clearance from the side of the appliance to a combustible side wall is 9 inches (229mm). See the "Mantel Clearances" chart (Diagram 2) for the minimum clearance from the bottom of the Top Faceplate to a combustible mantel. The minimum height from the bottom of the Top Faceplate to the ceiling is 36 inches (914mm). See diagram 1.
Diagram 2
Diagram 1
The Zero Clearance Kit must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete). This may be the floor, or raised up on a platform to enhance its visual impact.
NOTE: The specified '0' inch floor clearance means that the top surface of the flooring material, i.e. carpeting, tile, etc., must not extend above the bottom edge of the 4" Hearth Trim.
Diagram 2: Mantel can be installed anywhere in the shaded area or higher. Use the grid to determine height and depth of mantle.
Example: a 6" deep mantle must be 9" above the bottom of the top faceplate.
Note: A
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "heat resistant" or the paint may discolour.
