Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
This appliance may be located on or near conven-
tional construction materials, however, proper clearance
to combustibles must be maintained in order to provide
adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is
important to provide adequate access around the stove
for servicing and proper operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this
manual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material is anything that can
burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also
include materials that may be located behind non-com-
bustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. “Fire Resistant”
materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to
ignite, but will burn. Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is consid
-
ered combustible.
Hearth Requirements
The GF 400 BV gas stove CANNOT be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo
®
.
If this appliance will be installed on any combus-
tible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must be
installed that is either metal or wood, or a listed hearth
pad. This floor protection must extend the full width
and depth of the appliance. It is not necessary to remove
carpeting, vinyl or linoleum from underneath the floor
protection. See fig. 1.
