Finishing Around the Fireplace
Non-combustible mantels and mouldings may be safely installed
over the top and on the front of the replace provided that they do
not project beyond shaded area shown in Figure 20.
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
NOTE: 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 efcient.
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, discoloration or premature failure of T.V. and
radio components.
Side wall clearances are 6". Combustible surrounds may be installed
with 6" clearance to the side of the replace as shown in Figure 21.
