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 fitted) and the fireplace.

For correct mounting height and width, refer to Figure 2a and 2b.

The distances and reference points are not affected by the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.

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.

2.Place fireplace into position.

3.Frame in the fireplace with a header across the top. It is important to allow for finished face when setting the depth of the frame.

Four (4) nailing flanges are supplied with the fireplace (found on the fireplace hearth). To level the box and secure it firmly in place, remove the nailing flanges from the hearth and install at the sides of the fireplace as shown in Figure 3.
