Firelight 12, that is...
This is likely a question for the Jotul factory, but I figured I'd run it by you smart folks here, first.
The Jotul Firelight 12 manual is woefully short on required clearances info: (broken link removed to http://www.jotul.com/FileArchive/Files/USA/Old%20products/Old%20Stoves%20and%20inserts%20manuals/Jotul_12_Firelight_0910.PDF)
The Firelight 12 is visually identical to, and has the same dimensions as, the Firelight 600. However, the few clearances listed in the 12 manual are different than the corresponding clearances listed in the 600 manual, so it would seem this is not a useful reference.
The 12 manual includes zero information on clearace requirements when installed in an alcove. The 600 does, and despite that stoves tighter side and rear cleances, I still fail on top clearance to my lintel. If I put a heat shield on the lintel, then I make the 600 clearances fine, but again, no reference to top clearances in the 12 manual.
Advice?
I'm including some crude drawings below.

I'm tempted to just copy my other Firelight 12 installation, knowing this was done by a dealer 20 years ago, but I have two problems with that. First, this new hearth is much shallower than the other, putting the stove more under the lintel than behind it. Second, the lintel still gets very hot on that install, to the point where I was thinking of putting a mantel shield on that one, as well.
