Fireplace Facing
When sizing the nish material for your replace, it is important to
remember the following: 

The face of the replace may be painted to match the room decor,
provided you use a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not
extend past the replace opening at all, because it will interfere with
the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Mantels & Surrounds
 National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements
are for re hazard prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the
wise use of energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of
replaces which are hot, fuel and energy efcient.
Please be aware; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal
room temperature and walls above replace may be hot to touch.
We recommend careful consideration be given to the effects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for
example: candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation,
discolouration or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
 Combustible surrounds.
Do not operate this fireplace without the glass door or with a broken glass door.
NOTICE
Do not use ammonia based or abrasive cleaners on the glass, they will permanently
etch the surface. Use an approved gas fireplace glass cleaner such as Kel-Kem or
White off.
NOTICE
Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 3" clearance to the side of the replace as shown in .
WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the replace, (as shown,
Fig.22) with a non-combustible material : The decorative
facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F.
This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
