Finishing Around the Fireplace

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 24. Side wall clearances are 3".

Combustible surrounds may be installed with 3" clearance to the side

of the fireplace as shown in Figure 25.

Fireplace Facing

When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to

remember the following:
If the surround of the fireplace is to be painted to match the room decor,

heat-resistant paint must be provided . Also, decorative facing must not

extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with the

access to retainers for removal of glass door and access to the lower

compartment.

Mantels & Surrounds

NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements

are for fire hazard prevention to combustible 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.
Warning:
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace, up to 6" (as

shown, Fig.24 & Fig.25) with a non-combustible material Please Note:

The decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess

of 250° F. This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated

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.
