LOCATING FIREBOX

PLANNING

Plan where you will install the ﬁrebox. This will save time and money later when you install the ﬁrebox.

Before installation, consider the following:
1. Where the ﬁrebox will be located. Allow for wall and ceiling clearances (see

Installation Clear-

ances,

page 10).

2. Everything needed to complete installation.
3. These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom unless the maximum Btu rating of the installed

vent-free log set is less than 10,000 Btu/hr.

4. Proper air for combustion and ventilation (page 7).
