FINIShING
WARNING: Control panel door

be covered as it may create a fire
hazard.
Combustible Finishing Material: Materials
made of or surfaced with wood, compressed
paper, plant fibers, plastics or any material
capable of igniting and burning, whether flame
proofed or not, plastered or unplastered (this
includes drywall).
Noncombustible Finishing Material : Ma-
terials which will not ignite and burn. Such
materials are those consisting entirely of
steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass
or plasters or combinations thereof or have a
fire rating of zero.
FINISHING CHECKLIST
• Power supply service must be completed
prior to finishing to avoid reconstruction.
• Grills and air openings cannot be covered
in any circumstances.
Note: The heater is a zero clearance fireplace
and may be finished with combustible or non-
combustible finishing materials.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the
mantel, they must be heat resistant to prevent
discoloration.
