Locating the Fireplace
Figure 3 shows some of the many ways your
fireplace may be installed. Consider the traffic pattern
in your room and the location of doors and windows.
Moving air from ceiling fans, open doors and hot air
grills may cause the flames to soot. If a disturbance is
found that affects the flames, it must be eliminated by
turning off the ceiling fan, closing the door or closing or
moving the hot register. A corner location may be best
where space is limited.
Your fireplace weighs no more than some of your
fine furniture. If the fireplace is located near a load
bearing wall, additional supports to the foundation will
not be necessary.
HEAVY FACINGS SUCH AS BRICK, STONE,
ETC., MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FOUNDATION
SUPPORT. ALTHOUGH THIS UNIT MAY BE
