nstaLLation
:
• Remove the packaging from the appliance, and check to make sure there is no damage. If damage is
found, please report it to both the carrier and your dealer as soon as possible.
• Before beginning, carefully check the glass door and the log set
• Locate a position where the flue system of the stove can be properly installed without damaging the
integrity of the building; e.g. cutting a wall or ceiling joist.
• Check stove and flue system clearance requirements.
• Locate the stove where it can be accessed by a gas supply line.
• Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize heat
circulation and comfort.
• As the S20I / S20ID is equipped with a convection fan, ensure that an electrical outlet is within 6 ft
(1.8 m) of the stove.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed.
