MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible ma-
terial clearances, you must also meet re-
quired clearances between fireplace open-
ings and mantel shelf on each side of the
fireplace. If you do not meet the clearances
listed below, you will need a hood.
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance
If you meet minimum clearance between
mantel shelf and top of fireplace opening, a
hood is not required (see Figure 6).
Determining Minimum Mantel
Clearance When using a Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not
met, you must have a hood. When using a
hood there are still certain minimum mantel
clearances required. Follow minimum clear-
ances shown in Figure 7 when using hood.
FLOOR CLEARANCES
A. If installing appliance on the floor level,
you must maintain the minimum distance
of 14" to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than
14" to the fireplace, you must install
appliance at least 5" above the combus-
tible flooring (see Figure 9).
NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clearances
shown, you must do one of the
following:
• operate the logs only with the
flue damper open
• raise the mantel to an accept-
able height
• remove the mantel
