SELECTING LOCATION

To  determine  the  safest  and  most  efficient 

location for the fireplace, you must take into 

consideration the following guidelines:
1.  The location must allow for proper clear

-

ances (see Figure 1 and Figure 2, page 4).

2.  Consider a location where the heat output 

will not be affected by drafts, air condition

-

ing ducts, windows or doors.

3.  A location that avoids cutting of joists or 

roof rafters will make installation easier.

4.  An  outside  air  kit  is  available  with  this 

fireplace (see 

Outside Air Kit

 on page 5).

 WARNING: Do not install this 

appliance in a bedroom.
