-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion
and Ventilation
, page 7.
Note: When installing fireplace directly on
carpeting, tile or other combustible material,
other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the fireplace.
CAUTION: If you install the
fireplace in a home garage
• fireplace pilot and burner must
be at least 18" above floor.
• locate fireplace where moving
vehicle will not hit it.
For convenience and efficiency, install fireplace
• where there is easy access for operation,
inspection and service.
• in coldest part of room
An optional blower kit is available from your

installations. Wall or framing material can be
placed directly against any exterior surface on
the rear, sides or top of your fireplace.
