RECESSED INSTALLATION
INSTALLING A TELEVISION ABOVE A FIREPLACE MAY CAUSE DISCOLOURATION, MELT OR
DAMAGE THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE. USE THE INDICATED CLEARANCE AND REFER TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS OF THE TELEVISION MANUFACTURER FOR FURTHER INFORMATION .
WARNING: Non-combustible facing materials must not project more than 4" (102mm) from the face
of the door (all three sides). If greater projections are desired, increase the clearance to the sides and
top by 2" (51mm) for every addtional 1" (25mm) of projection. If using an optional surround, the same
rule applies, starting from the top of the surround. Ensure clearances are maintained for surround
removal, as it must lift off the appliance for maintenance.
Before placing anything above a heat source, it is advisable to follow proper clearances and
manufacturer's instructions.
When a mantel is installed between the appliance and an electronic device or other materials, the
A.
effect of direct heat on the electronics or other materials will be reduced. Follow mantel height and
depth instructions for proper clearances. NOTE: Increasing the horizontal length of the mantel
will further reduce the intensity of heat on the electronics.
