DV52 Gas Fireplace

Installation
Surround Heat Shield
Included with the DV 52 Gas fireplace is a heat shield fabricated from galvanized steel.
The kit comes with three (3) pieces as shown below. This shield is to protect all adjacent
combustible mantels and moldings from excessive heat radiated by the cabinet of the
fireplace. This shield must be installed as shown in
Figure 24a
.
1). Top shield fastened as shown. Wide flange face up, shallow flange toward inside
of room, nailed or screwed flush with framing.
2). Both side shields fastened as shown. Wide flanges face out, shallow flange toward
inside of room, nailed or screwed flush with framing.
Painting:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators Association, when
painting the fireplace surrounds, to select and apply a quality alkyd sealer prior to the
application of latex paints. This helps to prevent leaching of water from evaporation
which can cause a brownish staining to paint overcoats.
Mantels and 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
and energy efficient.
Please be aware that temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room
temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
