Step 9. Finishing
Figure 37 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding
maximum horizontal dimensions of fireplace mantels or other
combustible projections above the top front edge of the
fireplace. See Figures 3 and 4 for other fireplace clearances.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the
black fireplace front.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR IN-
LET/OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.

AND THE FIREPLACE SURROUND (TOP AND SIDES)
ARE SEALED, A 300°

RIAL MUST BE USED. THESE JOINTS ARE NOT RE-
QUIRED TO BE SEALED. ONLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE

NEEDED) CAN BE APPLIED AS FACING TO THE FIRE-
PLACE SURROUND (SEE FIGURE 38).
Hearth Extensions
A hearth extension may be desirable for aesthetic reasons.
However, ANSI or CAN/CGA testing standards do not require
hearth extensions for gas fireplace appliances.

Installing the Trim
Combustible materials may be brought up to the specified
clearances on the side and top front edges of the fireplace,
but MUST NEVER overlap onto the front face. The joints
between the finished wall and the fireplace top and sides
can only be sealed with a 300° F. (149° C) minimum sealant.
WARNING: WHEN FINISHING THE FIREPLACE,
NEVER OBSTRUCT OR MODIFY THE AIR INLET/
OUTLET GRILLES IN ANY MANNER.
Install optional marble and brass trim surround kits as
desired. Marble, brass, brick, tile, or other non-combustible
materials can be used to cover up the gap between the
sheet rock and the fireplace.
Do not obstruct or modify the air inlet/outlet grilles. When
overlapping on both sides, leave enough space so that the
bottom grille can be opened and the trim door removed.

Step 10. Installing Trim, Logs and
Ember Material
Positioning the Logs
If the gas logs have been factory installed they should not
need to be positioned. If the logs have been packaged
separately, refer to the instructions that accompany the
logs. Save the log instructions with this manual.
If sooting occurs, the logs might need to be repositioned
slightly to avoid excessive flame impingement.
