Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox,
you must meet the minimum allowable clearance
between mantel shelf and top of firebox opening
shown in Figure 6. These are the minimum allow
-
able mantel clearances for a safe installation. Use
larger clearances wherever possible to minimize
the heating of objects and materials placed on
the mantel.
CAUTION: Do not allow
the vent-free gas log heater
to touch or extend beyond the
fireplace screen.

of adjacent walls and mantels be-

If installed properly, these tem-
peratures 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:
• raise the mantel to an accept-
able height
• remove the mantel
BUILT-IN FIREBOX INSTALLATION
Built-in installation of this firebox involves install-
ing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. This makes
the front of firebox flush with wall. Optional brass
trim accessories are available (see Accessories,
page 35). The brass trim will extend past sides of
firebox approximately 1/2 inch. This will cover
the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing
a mantel above the firebox, you must follow the
clearances shown in Figure 6. Follow these instruc-
tions to install the firebox in this manner.
