Installing The Standoffs

To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all

P52DF* gas

fireplaces are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.

The fireplace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install

these standoffs on top of the fireplace ensuring that the

height of the standoff maintains a 7 ½" clearance.
