Combustible.mantles.and.facings..(Not.to.scale)
Non-combustible mantels and moldings may be safely installed
over the top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do
not project beyond shaded area shown in
Figure 8.
The face of the fireplace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
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, fuel and energy efficient.
T
emperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room
temperature and walls above fireplace may be hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of
elevated mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product
design, for example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause
melting, deformation, discolouration or premature failure of T.V. and
radio components.
Side wall clearances are 6". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 6" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown in
