Mantels

The height that 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

Noncombustible

fitted) and the fireplace.

Finish Material

For the correct mounting height and widths refer to

Figs. 4a and 4b, the following Mantel Charts.

Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at

any height and width around the appliance.
