Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to
final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating
of Zero) may be used to cover the black surface of the appliance. A 300°F minimum adhesive may
be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the
fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or
equivalent) must be used.
