FIREBOx LOCATIONS
Carefully select the best location for installation of your vent-free firebox. The following factors should
be taken into consideration.
•
Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows. See
Clearances and Height Require-
ments
section below and on pages 8 and 9. Minimum clearances to combustibles
must be
maintained.
•
Location must not be affected by drafts caused by kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return air
registers for forced air furnaces/air conditioners, windows, or doors.
•
Installation must provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
•
DO NOT INSTALL THIS FIREBOx IN A BATHROOM.
•
This firebox enclosure is approved for bedrooms on the condition that the unvented room heater
does not exceed 10,000 BTUs input and the room is properly sized for combustion air.
•
Location should be out of high traffic or windy or drafty areas.
•
DO NOT INSTALL WHERE CURTAINS, FURNITURE, CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
OBJECTS ARE LESS THAN 36" FROM FRONT OF HEATER.
•
Never obstruct the front opening of the vent-free firebox or restrict the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
•
Minimize modifications to existing construction. Refer to
Figure 2
for location suggestions.
•
Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The vent-
free firebox must be kept clear and free from these combustible materials.
