must remain unrestricted while unit is in use.
See Figure 6 for location of outside air
hook-up on rear of stove. Metal flex hose
must be used for outside air hook-up.

bolts) in stove feet
C. The stove must be grounded with #8 solid
copper grounding wire or equivalent,
terminated at each end with an NEC-
approved grounding device.
D. Clearance to combustibles and floor
protection is exactly the same for mobile
homes as residential installs.
