4. Safety Information
Due to the high operating temperatures this appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Maintain proper clearance to
combustible mantels and fireplace trim.
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of high surface temperatures and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Young children should be supervised while they are
in the same room as the appliance. Toddlers, young
children and others may be susceptible to accidental
contact burns. A physical barrier, such as a child
guard, is recommended to be used if there are at-risk
individuals in the house. To restrict access to a fireplace
or stove, install an adjustable safety gate to keep
toddlers, young children and other at-risk individuals
out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
A barrier designed to reduce the risk of burns from the
hot viewing glass is provided with this appliance and
shall be installed for the protection of children and
other at-risk individuals.
If the barrier becomes damaged, the barrier shall
be replaced with the manufacturer’s barrier for this
appliance. See fig. 11.2, page 26 for part numbers.

5. Installation
Stove Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the following
points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
This stove 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 clearances specified in this manual are the
minimum requirements established as a result of safety
testing. 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-
combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire-resistant”
materials are considered to be combustible. They may be
difficult to ignite, but will burn. “Fire -rated” sheet rock is
also considered combustible.
