D. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. Fireplace Locations and Space Requirements
Several options are available to you when choosing a location for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a
room divider or installed along a wall. See Figure 2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently opened doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations
of considerable air movement can affect the performance and cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the
fireplace. Consideration should be given to these factors before deciding on a location.
