consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances.
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 the cutting of
joists or roof rafters will make installation
easier.
4. If an outside air kit is to be installed, ac-
cessibility to outside combustion air must
be considered. This can also be achieved
through a vented crawl space in some
cases (see
Optional Outside Air Kit
on
page 6).
