Heater Placement Requirements
•
Heater must be installed on a level surface capable of supporting the heater and vent
•
Due to the high temperature, the heater should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
•
When placed in a location where the floor to ceiling height is under 7 feet, the installation is
considered an alcove and must meet the following requirements:
-
The alcove floor to ceiling height must be at least 38-1/8” (968mm) tall
-
The alcove must not be more than 24” (610mm) deep before the ceiling returns to 7’ (2134mm)
-
The alcove must be at least 28-1/4” (718mm) wide
•
The heater must not be placed so the vents below or above the door, along the sides of heater, or
along the back of the heater can become blocked.
•
This heater may be placed in a bedroom. Please be aware of the large amount of heat this appliance
produces when determining a location.
Floor Protection Requirements
•
When the stove is installed directly on carpeting,
vinyl or other combustible material other than
wood flooring or a high pressure laminate wood
floor, the stove must be installed on a non-
combustible or wood protection panel extending
the full width and depth of the heater (minimum
21-1/4” (540mm) wide by 17” (432mm) deep).
Electrical Requirements
•
If using optional fan, plug the stove into a grounded receptacle supplying a minimum 1.5 amps (120
Volts, 60 Hz, 180 watts).
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1.
Make sure these rubber tipped
bolts on each leg contact the floor
(they dampen any noise that may
transmit through the hearth). Do
not adjust with weight on the legs,
the rubber tips may tear.
