I have contacted Malm (again) and hopefully they will provide some guidance. Since this post we have had the unit checked and it is 100%. We painted the wood and the bricks ultra white. We intend to paint the fireplace high gloss black with brushed steel trim. Thanks Giershick!

Just a thought. It might not be a bad idea to write the people at Malm and ask for their opinions: www.malmfireplaces.com I would encourage Jennifer to keep the Malm; a real classic, and worth changing the room around, in my opinion.
