SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your fire-
place, consider the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figure 1).
2. Consider a location where the firepace would not be affected
by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters makes
ventilation installation easier.
In selecting a location, the following precautions must be observed:
• Do not connect this appliance to a chimney system used for solid
fuel burning fireplace.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this appliance in high
traffic areas or near furniture and draperies.
• Never obstruct the openings of the appliance or flow of ventila-
tion air. Keep the control compartments accessible.
• Do not locate appliance close to where gasoline or other flam-
mable liquids may be stored. The appliance must be kept clear
and free from combustible materials.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately contact a local service technician to examine the appli-
ance and to replace any part(s) of the control ignition system and
other related components that have been submerged under water.
Figure 1 - Common Fireplace Locations
Flush installation is recommended where living space is limited.
Projected installation may be ideal for a new addition to an
existing finished wall.
Corner installation makes use of a space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat
transfer.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Minimum clearances to combustibles for the fireplace are:
• Back and Sides of Fireplace .................................................. 0"
• Floor ...................................................................................... 0"
• Perpendicular Wall ................................................................ 6"
• Front .................................................................................... 36"
• Top of Standoffs .................................................................... 0"
CAUTION: Do not block required air spaces with
insulation or any other material. Do not obstruct the
effective opening of the appliance with any type of
facing material.
