3.3.1 INSTALLING NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD
NOTE: To minimize joints, it may be best to replace the supplied non-combustible board with a larger piece.
WARNING
THE SURFACE ABOVE THE APPLIANCE GETS VERY HOT. IF PROPER FINISHING MATERIALS
ARE NOT USED, CRACKING CAN OCCUR.
LA SURFACE AU-DESSUS DE L'APPAREIL EST TRÈS CHAUDE. SI DES MATERIAUX DE
FINITION CORRESPONDANTS NE SONT PAS UTILISES, DES RISQUES PEUVENT
SURVENIR.
The 9.5” (241.3mm) 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.

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.
