3.4 minimum mantel clearances
!
WARNING
45.4
• Risk of fi re. Maintain all specifi ed air space clearances to combustibles. Failure to comply with these instructions
may cause a fi re or cause the appliance to overheat. Ensure all clearances (i.e. back, side, top, vent, mantel,
front, etc.) are clearly maintained.
• When using paint or lacquer to fi nish the mantel, the paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent
discolouration.
Combustible materials may be installed flush with the front of the appliance but must not cover any of the black
face-areas of the appliance. Non-combustible material (brick, stone or ceramic tile) may protrude in these areas.
Combustible mantel clearance can vary according to the mantel depth. Use the graph to help evaluate the clear-
ance needed.
