This fireplace is designed to accommodate non-combustible facing material up to 1/2 in. (13 mm) thick. Install non-combustible facing
material up to the facing flange (Figure 7.2) that surrounds the glass frame assembly. Do not apply any material beyond this point.
The glass frame assembly must be removable.
Non-combustible material is required at the top and the sides of the fireplace. Figures 7.1 and 7.3 reflect minimum non-combustible
material dimensions.
Do not secure material to lower cover panel with screws, which may damage control system components. Use a silicone sealant that
has a 300°F (149ºC) continuous exposure rating to secure material in this zone.
It is acceptable to pre-drill holes and to use self-tapping screws to attach non-combustible material to top and sides of fireplace face.
Do not use excessively long screws.
WARNING
Maintain all minimum clearances to combustibles from the fireplace and the vent system.
