Mantels & Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for fire hazard prevention to combustible materials.
Please be aware; temperatures 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, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and
radio components.

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Non-combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over
the top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not
extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
The front face of the fireplace can be painted provided a high temperature
heat resistant paint is used.
Sidewall clearances
Side wall clearances are 6". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 6" clearance to the side of the fireplace as shown.
6" clearance in sidewall drawing does not apply to recession, unit
cannot be recessed into a wall.
