139587_05 GF 200 DV IPI October 2015
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 200 DV IPI may be located on or near conven-
tional 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.
Floor Protection
This appliance CANNOT be installed directly on carpeting,
vinyl, linoleum or wood laminate flooring, such as Pergo
®
.
If this appliance will be installed on any combustible
material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be in-
stalled that is either metal, wood, ceramic tile, stone, or a
listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend the
full width and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary
to remove carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath
the floor protection. See fig. 1.
Figure 1. Suggested hearth dimensions shown are
slightly larger than the minimum requirement.

Stove and Vent Clearance
Requirements
The clearances specified and diagrammed here are
established from the stove body. The safety barrier has

The Wall Shield provided in the hardware package may
be used to obscure the Vent Adaptor. The shield has no
impact on clearances to combustible material.
