Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels
Note: Combustible wall fi nish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to encroach the area defi ned by the appliance front face (black
sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned in front of or overlapping the appliance face (see Figures 61 and 62 on Page 34).
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance face with these exceptions: they must not
cover any portion of the removable glass panel or control compartment.
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 9. Mantels constructed of
non-combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the
fi replace hood.
Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.
NOTE: We recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175 °F, or higher) on the underside of the mantel.
