4. DECIDING WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR FREESTANDING STOVE
1. The stove should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
2. This stove should have sufficient access for its safe operation and maintenance.
3. Locate a position where the flue system of the stove can be properly installed without damaging the integrity
of the building. e.g. cutting wall or ceiling joists.
4. The stove can be installed on any wooden or non-combustible flat surface extending the full width and depth
of the appliance.
5. Check stove and flue system clearance requirements.
6. Locate the stove where it can be accessed by a gas supply line.
7. Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat
circulation and comfort.
8. If the stove is equipped with an optional convection fan, ensure that an electrical outlet is within 6ft. (1.8m)
of the stove.
9. These stoves can be installed in bedrooms.
10. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
