Everest Fireplace Installation and Operation Manual

76 ______________________________________________________________________________

The hot air grilles can be installed in the same room as the fireplace, or one or both of the grilles
can be installed in adjacent or upper rooms. Installing the ducts at different elevations will tend to
exhaust more heat out of the higher grilles.
