MANTEL
!
WARNING
• Mantel temperatures will rise above normal temperatures and may be hot to the touch.
It is recommended that all mantels are made from non-combustible materials. If using combustible materials, follow
the chart below.
When using paint and lacquer to finish the mantel, the paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent dis-
colouration. If using combustible materials, minimum vertical clearance must be determined according to the
below diagram.
note:
Although this appliance is designed to operate outdoors safely, rain and other sources of moisture may enter the appliance
area, which will cause water to collect inside the base of the appliance within the appliance enclosure. When choosing a
location for your appliance, care must be taken to avoid areas where excessive moisture or running water may be a problem.
To prevent moisutre or water from collecting underneath the appliance, the builder must provide a means to drain
water from under the appliance, before positioning the appliance in its location. It is recommended that a sealed cor-
rosion resistant drain pan with provisions for drainage be positioned underneath the appliance. The drain pan can be
constructed from corrosion resistant metal, or other suitable materials such as an ice and water shield membrane. A
means of drainage out of the drain pan such as piping or weep holes must also be provided. A slope of 1/4” (6mm)
per foot towards the drain port is recommended.
4.7 drain installation (recommended)
When planning for the installation of the appliance, the framing height must be increased to accommodate a
drain pan and any additional drainage piping required. The appliance must be installed on a level surface to
ensure proper drainage.
