MANTEL CLEARANCES
Mantel Clearances for this fireplace may be measured from the top of the convection air opening or the floor level of
this fireplace.
The location that is referenced normally to measure mantel clearances is the Top of the Convection Air Opening. For
ease, however, measure up from the floor level of this fireplace. The chart and diagram, in this page, provide all the refer-
ence dimensional information necessary in determining the distance a combustible mantel may protrude out from the face
surface of this fireplace. The Chart, at right, shows the Distance from Fireplace Face the combustible mantel may pro-
trude outward at a Distance up From Floor Level of this Fireplace.
If you prefer to take measurements from the Top of the Convection Air Opening
, note that the Top of the convection air
opening is 30 inches
up from the floor level of this fireplace.
WARNING: Make proper use of this chart. Do not compromise the specifications contained in this chart.
Failure to adhere to proper clearances required to combustibles may cause spontaneous combustion of the mantel and
may result in a fire causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
