LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efficient loca-
tion for your Vanguard cast iron stove. Make
sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the
way of the venting system. Choose a location
where the heat output is not affected by
drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or
doors. Figure 2 shows some common loca-
tions. Read all venting information in this
manual. Be aware of all restrictions and pre-
cautions before deciding the exact location
for your stove.
When deciding the location of your stove,
follow these rules:
1.
Do not connect this stove and burner
system to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or
appliance.
2.
Due to high temperatures, do not lo-
cate this stove in high traffic areas or
near furniture or draperies.
3.
Proper clearances must be maintained,
see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 5.
4.
This stove is a freestanding unit de-
signed to set directly on the floor. If
your stove is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible
material other than wood, it must be
installed on a metal or wood panel ex-
tending the full width and depth of the
stove. See Figure 5, page 5.

WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install stove
and burner system. Follow all lo-
cal codes.
CAUTION: This stove creates
warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next
to stove. Installing stove next to
vinyl or cloth wall coverings or
operating stove where impurities
(such as tobacco smoke, aro-
matic candles, cleaning fluids,
oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the
air exist, may discolor walls.
