INSTALLING HOOD TO
MANUFACTURED FIREPLACE
WARNING: Many manufac-
tured fireplaces have louver open-
ings for ventilation. Do not cover
any louver openings with fireplace
hood. Do not mount fireplace hood
above any louver openings. Only
mount fireplace hood below louver
openings. Covering louver open-
ings or mounting fireplace hood
above louver openings will cause
the fireplace to overheat and could
cause property damage, personal
injury, or death due to fire.
CAUTION: Brass-plated
hood may tarnish due to heat if
you mount it too low. Make sure
the bottom of hood is at least 17
inches above the bottom of fire-
place (see Figure 11). If installa-
tion height is less than 17 inches,
use the GA6050 flat-black hood.
You may need to alter or discard the mounting
brackets to install the fireplace hood to the manu-
factured fireplace.
