Mantels
The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above
the fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel.
This also applies to the distance between the mantel
leg (if fitted) and the fireplace.
For the correct mounting height and widths, refer to
Figures 2a, 2b and the Mantel Chart below.
The distances and reference points are not affected by
the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.
Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at
any height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the
mantel, such paint or lacquer must be
heat resistant to prevent discoloration.
