Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The GF 400 DV Sebago may be located on or near
conventional construction materials, however, proper
clearance to combustibles must be maintained in order
to provide adequate air circulation around the appliance.
Also, it is important to provide adequate access around
the stove for servicing and proper operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this
manual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material is anything that can
burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also
include materials that may be located behind non-com-
bustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, “Fire
Resistant” materials are considered combustible: they are
difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet
rock is considered combustible.
Hearth Requirements
This appliance CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting,
vinyl, linoleum or Pergo
®
.
If this appliance will be installed on any combus-
tible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal, wood, ceramic, stone, or a

to remove carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath
the floor protection. See fig. 1.
