LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the fi replace are primary concerns. However, vent
system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.
Due to high temperatures, the fi replace should be located out of traffi c and away from furniture and draperies.
En raison des températures élevées, l’appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit où il y a peu de
circulation et loin du mobilier et des tentures.
The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These direct-vent fi replaces are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the
fi replace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.
Be aware that this is a heat producing fi replace. Objects placed above the unit are exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the fi replace and the area above it.
The minimum height from the base of the fi replace to the underside of combustible materials used to construct a
utility shelf in this fashion is shown in
