Secure Fireplace to Floor and Framing Studs
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 painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring com-
bustible wall board to the top of the stand-offs on the top and the sides of the unit. 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.
