MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO SIDE WALL AND CEILING
Side wall:
15 1/2" from side of fireplace opening.
Ceiling:
42" from top of fireplace opening.
NOTE:
Clearances to Combustible Construction
are those
distances required to ensure that a fireplace mantel or facing
will not catch fire. In most cases they should also be adequate
to prevent any discoloration or warping due to heat. However,
each and every decorative gas appliance installation
(
CHILLBUSTER™
included) presents a different and com-
pletely unique set of circumstances involving many variables
beyond the control of the manufacturer. These include paint or
finish composition, previous exposure to heat, methods and
quality of construction, air flow patterns, glass doors, fans or
blowers, etc. Because of these variables, we cannot guarantee
that heat warping or discoloration will never occur. The potential
for heat warping or discoloration may exist whether you are burn-
ing an
CHILLBUSTER
™, some other manufacturer's decora-
tive gas appliance or even wood.
MANTEL CLEARANCE WITHOUT HOOD
MANTEL CLEARANCE WITH HOOD
WARNING:
Be certain that combustible flooring material (i.e.; carpet, tile etc.) is not too close to this gas appliance. If this
appliance is at floor level or less than 6” above the floor, there must be at least 12” of noncombustible material
between the base of the fireplace and any combustible flooring.
When operated as a
Vent Free Heater
, the minimum clearances from the fireplace opening to combustible materials
must be maintained as outlined below .
A fireplace hood deflects heat away from the fireplace face and mantel, reducing the potential for heat related warping or discoloration.
The use of a fireplace hood is highly recommended.*
