C. Clearance Requirements
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 2.3 thru 2.6
from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure rear
clearances from the outermost surface of the steel rear skirt.
The Oxford heater is approved for installation into an alcove
constructed of combustible materials to the dimensions and
clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel installation.
In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
•
The location of outside walls;
•
Where additional heat is needed:
•
Where family members gather most often;
•
The vent system requirements.
NOTE:
We do not recommend the use of wallpaper next to
this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause the wallpaper
to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in the wallpaper
adhesive.
WARNING
!
Due to high temperatures, the heater should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use. Young
children should be watched carefully when they are in the
same room when the Heater is in use, and they should
be taught to avoid the hot surface. Keep any objects that
can burn well away from the Heater, and observe the
recommended clearances that follow.
WARNING
!
•
Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to
nearby combustibles to prevent fire hazard. Do not
fill air spaces with insulation. Horizontal sections of
this vent system require a minimum of 3” (76 mm)
clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue
and 1” (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom
until the flue penetrates the outside wall. The gas
appliance and vent system must be vented directly to
the outside of the building and never be attached to a
chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning
appliance.
•
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions included
with the venting system for complete installation
procedures.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional
information consult a qualified installer, service
agency or the gas supplier.
