MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible material clearances, you must
also meet required clearances between fireplace opening and mantel
shelf. If you do not meet the clearances listed below, you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between mantel shelf and top of
fireplace opening, a hood is not required (see Figure 6).
Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance When
Using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not met, you must have
a hood. When using a hood there are still certain minimum
mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances shown
in Figure 7 when using hood.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and
mantels become hot during operation. Walls and
mantels above the firebox may become hot to the
touch. If installed properly, these temperatures meet
the requirement of the national product standard.
Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the minimum
clearances shown, you must do one of the following:
• operate the logs only with the flue damper open
• raise the mantel to an acceptable height
• remove the mantel
FLOOR CLEARANCES

the minimum distance of 14" to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14" to the fireplace, you

ing (see Figure 9).
