IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING TELEVISIONS AND THIS F IREPLACE
Most television manufacturers ins truct the homeowner to not place the television above a heat source. Doing so may
negatively affect the longevity of the television and may negate the warranty. If you do place a televis ion above the fireplace,
please be aware of the large amount of heat generated by the fireplace and consider placing the television above a mantel to
reduce the amount of heat that reaches t he television. The homeowner must understand that Travis Industries does not take
responsibility for any negative im pac t to televisions placed near t his fireplace.
Minimum Dimensions:
(a) Minimum Mantel Height above Base of Fireplace* 39” (991mm) with 4” (102mm) mantel depth
(b) Minimum Mantel Depth* 4” (102mm)*
* Mantel depth is 4”(102mm) minimum to allow heat to travel forward and dissipate. If using more than an 4”(102mm)
mantel, make sure to make the mantel height (a) higher (see mantel requirements on page 42 for details).
NOTE: The mantel must extend 1”(26mm) in front of the TV and 1”(26mm) to both sides. If you have a TV that is greater than
3”(77mm) deep (including the 1”(26mm) gap behind), you will need to alter the mantel depth and height.

•If installed near carpet or other combustible fl ooring, the fireplace must be raised so the base of t he unit is
above the carpet surface or flooring material. If t he heat er i s installed at floor level, we recommend a noncombustible hearth to protect the floorin g surface from discoloration or other negative impact from the heater.
•A non-combustible hearth may be constructed in front of the fireplace (see illustration below).
•The nailing brackets on the side of the fireplace may be placed in the standard or extended position to best suit
the facing being used (the header shield is also moved). Most installations use the standard nailing bracket
position. If using a facing that does not use a backing board (e.g. marble), you may wish to use the extended
position.
The screen assembly may be positioned 1/2” (13mm) to 1-1/2” (38mm) from the front of the fireplace to allow
facing to tuck under the screen assembly. Facing t hi ck er t han 1-1/2” (38mm) may also be used, however the
screen assembly will be recessed into the facing rather than overlapping facing.
NOTE: Pay close attention to the following thick facing requirements when planning installation of facing
material over 1-1/2” (38mm) thick.
If facing greater than 1-1/2” (38mm) is used, make sure to leave a 3/8" (9.5mm) gap above the screen assembly
and 1/8” (3.18mm) to the sides and below. This gap is required t o all ow f or the screen assembly to be removed.

Screen Assembly Mounts
The screen assembly mounts (located on outer front edges of the fireplace) are adjustable to allow the screen
assembly to be positioned 1/2" (13mm) to 1-/12” (38mm) from the front of the fireplace. This allows facing to tuck
under the screen assembly. Each mount is held in pl ace by (3) Philips head scr ews. Before mounting the screen
assembly, adjust the mounts so that the front edge i s f lush with the finish material surrounding the fireplace. To
adjust the mounts, loosen the screws, slide the mounts to the desired position, then tighten the screws.
When using screws to secure tile-board or other non-combustible to the front of the fireplace, make sure to avoi d
the area on the front of the fireplace that is painted with the “DO NOT DRILL” shading. Make sure screws
penetrate no more than ½” (13mm) into the fireplace.
Use of a Non-Combustible Mantel Below Listed Mantel Clearances
Each gas fireplace has a unique set of mantel requirements. If you wish to place a non-combustible
mantel at a lesser height than specified in this manual, it will need to meet the following requirements:
• The header (the framing member above the fireplace opening) must be non-combustible.
• The facing must be non-combustible and extend to the header (or mantel, whichever is greater).
The facing must also span the entire width of the mantel.
• See the illustration below for additional requirements.
NOTE: If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the media.
