WARNING
• Your appliance, gas/electrical connections, venting and various key components are hidden behind the wall. It is
critical that no screws penetrate these components. Failure to follow instructions may cause improper operation,
damage, personal injury or fire. Always use a stud finder and only screw into studs.
4.0 clearances around fireplace
Without making adequate provisions to account for the heat, the temperatures above the fireplace will be hot, making
it unsuitable for mounting a TV or other objects sensitive to heat without risk of damage.
Installing a mantel between this appliance and electronics or other materials that may be sensitive to heat will reduce
the effect of direct heat on them.
The size and material of the mantel will affect the allowable clearance above your fireplace and incorrect placement
could become a fire hazard. Consult your installation manual and/or authorized dealer for more information before
mounting a mantel, a shelf or any other object above your appliance.
Your fireplace, gas/electrical connections and vent are hidden directly behind the finished wall. Great care should be
taken to avoid screwing or nailing into these components. Always use a stud finder to determine stud location and
only screw into studs.
Do not screw into the area around the fireplace opening as some of your appliance may be hidden behind the
finished wall. Refer to your installation manual and/or contact your local dealer for more information.
