Section 6: Finishing
Mantels & Surrounds
Non-combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed over
the top and on the front of the fireplace provided that they do not
project beyond shaded area shown
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN
ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for the control compartments
and heat exchanger it also prevents access for servicing controls.
When covering the upper metal portion of the fireplace with a non-
combustible material. Please note the decorative facing materials may
be subject to temperatures in excess of 250°F. This should be considered
when selecting facing materials.
IMPORTANT
Flush Finishing

A noncombustible finishing
material may be installed over
the face of the unit as shown.
Please be aware that the
temperature of the fireplace
face will be extremely hot and
could be subject to cracking in
seams of concrete board or tile
installed directly on the face.
Please refer to the flush face
finishing guide for more
detailed instructions.
