When nishing the replace never obstruct or modify the
gap around the glass frame in any manner. Provide adequate
clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber.
CAUTION
If the joints between the nished wall and the replace surround
(top and sides) are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material
must be used. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only
non-combustible material (using 300°F minimum adhesive if
needed) can be applied as facing to the replace surround.
