LOCATING THE HEATER
AS A LOCATION IS SELECTED,
KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
1. The chimney connection should be as
possible. The heater must have its own chimney
flue. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue,
serving another appliance. If there is no chim-
ney near where you wish to place the heater,
you can use a UL 103HT Residential Type and
Building Heating Appliance Chimney (Fig. 5, 6,
6A & 6B).
2. Place the heater on solid masonry or solid
concrete. When the heater is used on a com-
bustible floor protector of one layer of 3/8"
millboard having a thermal conductivity of
K=0.84 BTU in./ft. 2 hr. Deg. F with 28-gauge
sheet metal or a UL Listed floor protector. Have
the floor protector extend 16" beyond the door
side of the heater and under the connector pipe
in the back.
3. Check Figures 2, 3, and 4. Be sure you have
the clearances shown from the heater and the
connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you
have a solid brick or stone wall behind your
heater, you can place the heater as close as
you wish to the wall. If the wall is only faced with
brick or stone, treat it as a combustible wall.
CAUTION:
Keep furnishings and other
combustible materials away
from the heater.
