Electronic appliance temperatures must be validated at the time of installation as air flow

characteristics within the space can vary and maximum acceptable operating temperatures can vary from
appliance to appliance. Electronic appliances cannot be used where the electronic appliance temperature
exceeds the manufacturer's maximum allowable operating temperatures (see electronic appliance
manufacturer's specifications). Operating a television above the manufacturer's maximum allowable
operating temperature will result in premature failure.
•
Mantel height and depth must conform to mantel clearance requirements specified in this manual, see
"minimum clearance to combustible mantel" section in installation manual.
•
Electronic appliance temperatures may be further reduced by increasing the horizontal distance between
the front of the electronic appliance and the front edge of the mantel. However, increasing the gap between
the top of the mantel and the bottom of the electronic appliance typically results in higher temperatures.
Minimum clearance between the mantel and bottom of the electronic appliance should be maintained to
allow air circulation below and behind the electronic appliance.

TV applications were tested with these models with the
minimum enclosure dimensions and the maximum recess
permissible. Temperatures suitable for operating typical
televisions, whilst operating the fireplace, were obtained
with a minimum of a 12" mantle protruding from
front surface of the TV This data is provided in good
faith and is not a guarantee for every application and
television. Care and consideration should be taken when
planning these installations to ensure the temperatures
around the TV meet all manufacturer's recommended

operating temperatures. Increasing the height of the
mantel and/or TV above the fireplace opening, the
protrusion of mantel and the volume of the enclosure
all have the effect of reducing the temperature above
the fireplace. It is always recommended to use the
optional heat management kit when considering
mounting a television above the fireplace.
