Mantel Clearances for Insert Installation
If there is a mantel above masonry fireplace, you must meet
minimum clearance between mantel shelf and top of fireplace
opening.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and
mantels become hot during operation. Walls and
mantels above the firebox may become hot to the
touch. If installed properly, these temperatures meet
the requirements of the national product standard.
Follow all minimum clearances shown in this manual.
CAUTION: For propane/LP gas, never connect
heater directly to the propane/LP supply. This heater
requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between the heater and pro-
pane/LP supply.
