If a combustible mantel is installed, it must meet the clearance requirements detailed in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Mantel Clearance
Floor Clearances:
The fireplace may be installed on a flat, hard combustible surface (i.e. flat wood, plywood, or particleboard). Be sure
that the fireplace rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing support. Do NOT install
appliance directly on carpeting, vinyl, or other soft floor covering. If the fireplace is to be installed on carpeting or
tile, or on any combustible material other than wood flooring, the fireplace should be installed on a metal or wood
panel that extends the full width and depth of the fireplace.
