FIREPLACE FACING
When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is
important to remember the following: BRASS TRIMS
MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do
so restricts the air supply for the control compartments
and heat exchanger it also prevents access for servicing
controls.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room
decor, provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative
facing must not extend past the fireplace opening at all,
because it will interfere with the access to retainers for
removal of glass panel and combustion door.
FIGURE 10A. COMBUSTIBLE MANTLES & FACINGS
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test
requirements are for fire hazard prevention to combusti-
ble materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government
demands for the wise use of energy, has prompted us to
manufacture many models of fireplaces which are hot,
fuel and energy efficient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise
above normal room temperature and walls above
fireplace may be hot to touch.
MANTELS & SURROUNDS
We recommend careful consideration be given to the
effects of elavated mantel temperatures which may be
in excess of product design, for example: candles,
plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation,
discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and radio
components.
Painting: Special care is recommended by the Master
Painters and Decorators Association, when painting the
fireplace surrounds, to select and apply a quality Alkyd
sealer prior to the applying of latex paints. This is to
prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing
a brownish staining effect to paint over coats.
FIREPLACE MANTEL AND FACING
Combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely
installed over the top and on the front of the fireplace
provided that they do not project beyond shaded area
shown in figure 10A. Side wall clearances are 0". Com-
bustible surrounds may be installed with 0" clearance to
the side of the fireplace as shown in figure 10B.
