A NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIAL BORDER, SUCH AS BRICK, MARBLE, GRANITE, ETC.
IS REQUIRED. FINISHING WITH JUST NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD TO THE SIDES AND TOP OF THE
THE SURFACE ABOVE THE APPLIANCE GETS VERY HOT. IF PROPER FINISHING MATERIALS ARE
If using non-combustible board the entire surface
must be covered with a non-combustible decorative
fi nish such as brick, marble, granite, etc.
NOTE: Keep the securing screws for the non-combustible board a minimum of 6" (152mm) from the side and
top of the door opening. This will allow for any slight movement in the normal operation of the appliance.
Joint Compound where required
Joint compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are resilient to heat and cracking should be used when
taping and mudding seams.
Setting tiles and grouting
We recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to be installed using a two-part mortar with an acrylic latex
additive, such as Mapei Kerabond/Kerlastic, to allow for slight movement in the normal operation of the appli-
ance.
If grout is used between the tiles, a polymer-based grout, such as Mapei Ultracolour plus, is recommended.
Primer/Paint
For a painted surface, use a 100% acrylic latex primer and fi nish coat. Light coloured paints may discolour.

!
It is not required to cover the entire surface with a
non-combustible decorative fi nishing material if using
a full sheet of non-combustible board where required.
However, a minimum of one course of tile is required
to border the sides and top around the door opening.
The larger the tile size, the better.
