may result. The black metal fireplace front may only be covered with noncombustible materials such as ce-
ramic tile, brick, or stone. Do not cover or block any cooling air slots. Do not cover any portion of the opening

All required clearances to combustibles around the fireplace must be adhered to. Any framing across the top of the
fireplace must be above the level of the top standoffs. Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in. minimum air
space clearance between the framing and chimney section.

A minimum 1/2 in. air clearance must
be maintained at the back and sides
of the fireplace assembly.
