INSTALLING ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ABOVE YOUR FIREPLACE
*A common installation configuration includes the mounting of a TV, soundbar, speakers,
or other electrical/electronic equipment above a gas fireplace. If installing any equipment
above a Real Flame gas fireplace, a minimum clearance of 300mm from the top edge of
the fascia is recommended. Installation of a mantel shelf or an equipment recess is not
generally required, but may be added to further protect equipment from the heat which
will naturally rise from any gas heating appliance. Due to the wide variety of commercially
available equipment which may be installed above a gas fireplace, Glen Dimplex
recommends that end users contact their equipment manufacturer to determine suitability
in advance of installation. Glen Dimplex offers no guarantees around, nor assumes any
responsibility for the suitability of electrical equipment installed in this configuration.
