Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the
fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This
also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if
fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to
Figures 2a and 2b and the Mantel Chart below.
The distances and reference points are not affected by
the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using a paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such
paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent
discoloration.

Hearth
A hearth is not mandatory but is recommended for
aesthetic purposes. We recommend a noncombustible
hearth.
Cold climate installation recommendation: When
installing this unit against a noninsulated
exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory
that the outer walls be insulated to
conform to applicable insulation codes.
