FLOOR CLEARANCES
A. If installing appliance on the floor level,
you must maintain the minimum dis-
tance of 14" to combustibles (see Fig-
ure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than
14" to the fireplace, you must install
appliance at least 5" above the combus-
tible flooring (see Figure 9).
MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible mate-
rial clearances, you must also meet required
clearances between fireplace opening and
mantel shelf. If you do not meet clearances
listed in Figure 6 you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between
mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not required (see Figure 6).
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance When Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not
met, you must have a hood. When using a
hood there are still certain minimum mantel
clearances required. Follow minimum clear-
ances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
