Carefully select the best location for installation of your unvented fireplace. The following factors
should be taken into consideration.
• Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and window or other combustibles. Refer to “Clear-
ances” section on Page 10. Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.
• Location must not be affected by drafts caused by kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return
air registers for forced air furnaces / air conditioners, windows or doors.
• Installation must provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
• DO NOT INSTALL THIS MODEL IN A BEDROOM OR BATHROOM.
• Location should be out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies due to
heat from firebox.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the unvented fireplace or restrict the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
• Minimize modifications to existing construction. Refer to Figure 4 below for location sugges-
tions.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The
unvented firebox must be kept clear and free from the combustible materials.
