Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to
nal nishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL re rating
of Zero) may be used to cover the black-painted face of the appliance. A 300°F minimum adhesive
may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the nished wall and
the replace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or
equivalent) must be used. Combustibles may come to the top and side edges but not overlay the
face.
