Installing The Standoffs
To avoid elevated mantel temperatures, all
P52DF*
gas
fireplaces are required to have the supplied standoffs installed.
The fireplace is supplied with two standoffs. Bend and install
these standoffs on top of the fireplace ensuring that the
height of the standoff maintains a 7 ½" clearance.
