installing non-combustible board

WARNING
!
• A non-combustible fi nishing material border such as brick, marble, granite, etc. is required. Finishing with just
non-combustible board to the side and top of the appliance is not recommended.
• The surface above the appliance gets very hot. If proper fi nishing materials are not used, cracking can occur.
With the frame assembly in place, use drywall screws to
install the non-combustible board sides (1) and center (2).
NON-COMBUSTBLE
BOARD REQUIRED
4 3/4"
[121mm]
Joint Compound where required
Joint compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are resilient to heat and cracking should be used when
taping and mudding seams.
Setting tiles and grouting
We recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to be installed using a two-part mortar with an acrylic latex
additive, such as Mapei Kerabond/Kerlastic, to allow for slight movement in the normal operation of the appliance.
If grout is used between the tiles, a polymer-based grout, such as Mapei Ultracolour plus, is recommended.
