Mantels

The height at which a combustible mantel is fitted above the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if so fitted) and the fireplace. For correct mounting height and width, refer to Fig. 4a and 4b and the Mantel Chart below.

The fitting of a bay window trim kit does not affect the distances and reference points referred to in the dia- gram and chart.

Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at any height and width around the appliance.

When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent dis- coloration.
