The 10" (254mm) above the appliance must not be finished with any combustible materials. If only a
painted surface is desired, a full single sheet of cement board should be used.
The manufacturer supplies only the minimum sized board required.
NOTE: To minimize joints, it may be best to replace the supplied non-combustible board with a larger piece.

Joint Compound where required:
Compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are heat and
cracking resilient should be used when taping and mudding
seams.
Setting tiles and grouting:
If using tiles we recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to
be installed using a two part mortar with an acrylic latex additive,
to allow for slight movement in the normal operation of the
appliance. If grout is used between the tiles we recommend a
polymer-based grout.
Primer/Paint:
For a painted surface, use a 100% acrylic latex primer and finish
coat.
NOTE: Light coloured surfaces may discolour due to heat.
