tv installation Considerations:
If you are planning to mount a TV above your replace some considerations must be made to ensure
it is protected from the heat.
During testing temperatures did not exceed 121°F (49°C) midway up the front wall (Figure 9 &
10). There is no guarantee that these temperatures will not harm the longevity of your TV. Make sure
to consult your TV manufacturer’s specications to nd the maximum allowable operating temperature.
Since every home and installation is unique, temperatures should be veried at the time of install
if possible. If desired, front wall temperatures can be lowered to 104°F (40°C) with the use of a
mantle (Figure 10). Refer to Owner’s Manual for full mantle clearances. A TV should not be installed if
temperatures exceed the manufacturers maximum allowable temperature.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualied installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
