• Because of high operating temperatures, the EXCEL-FIRE should be located away from
high traffic areas, furniture, curtains, and other combustible material.
• Always locate the stove as near as possible to an outside wall to keep horizontal vent length to
a minimum.
• Provide adequate accessibility clearances for servicing and proper operation.
• Never install the stove in a hallway or near a staircase as it may block the way in case of a fire.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the combustion chamber..
