Mantel Clearances: Vent free fireplace models must use the hood
supplied with the fireplace, or one of the optional hood kits avail-
able for each model. If a combustible mantel is installed, it must
meet the clearance requirements detailed below.
Leave furniture and other combustible items at least 36" away from
the front openings of the fireplace.
Do not attach combustible material to the mantel of your fireplace.
This is a fire hazard.
