Several options are available to you when choosing a loca-
tion for your fireplace. This fireplace may be used as a room
divider, installed along a wall, across a corner or used in an
exterior chase. See Figure 6.1
Locating the fireplace in a basement, near frequently opened
doors, central heat outlets or returns, or other locations of
considerable air movement can affect the performance and
cause intermittent smoke spillage from the front of the fire-
place when no outside air is used. Outside air must be used
for combustion. The 7100FP comes equipped with an out-
side air inlet to feed combustion air from outside the home,
along with an outside air termination cap. Consideration
should be given to these factors before deciding on a loca-
tion. See Sections 4 and 5.
