clearances around fi replace
• Electronic appliance temperatures must be validated at the time of installation as air fl ow
characteristics within the room 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 specifi cations). Operating a television above the manufacturer’s maximum allowable
operating temperature will result in permature failure.
• Mantel height and depth must conform to mantel clearance requirements specifi ed 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 or by increasing dimension “A”. However,
increasing the gap between the top of the mantel and the bottom of the electronic appliance beyond the
maximum recommended fi gure, 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 the Altitude™ X
series with the minimum enclosure dimensions and
the maximum recess permissible. Temperatures
suitable for operating typical televisions, whilst
operating the fi replace, were obtained with a
minimum of a 7” 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 fi replace opening,
the protrusion of mantel and the volume of the
enclosure all have the effect of reducing the
temperature above the fi replace. It is always
recommended to use the optional heat
management kit when considering mounting
a television above the fi replace.
