Facing or finishing materials must never overhang into the appliance opening.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Do not apply combustible materials beyond the minimum clearances. Comply with all minimum clearances to combustibles as specified in this manual and the burner manual.

IMPORTANT: A 155 mm [6 in] non combustible panel must be installed above all sides of the appliance openings. See examples below.

2. A metal trim bead MUST be installed on all edges (mitre the corners).

(Do not use long fasteners thicker than the wall paneling material to avoid penetrating the appliance).

3. Plaster all seams and beads.

All joints between the finished wall sheathing and the front of the appliance must be sealed with non-combustible materials. Sealants, such as caulk or mastic used to seal the gap between the wall and the appliance, should be rated at a minimum continuous exposure to 150ºC (122ºF).

4. If desired finishing includes a painted wall, 100% acrylic latex or oil-based or standard acrylics may be used. Follow paint manufacturer’s instructions for paint and primer application.
