LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the best location for installation of your unvented fireplace. The following factors should be taken into
consideration.
• Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and window or other combustibles. See
Clearances
and
Height Requirements
section on
page 17.
Minimum clearances to combustibles
must be maintained.
• Location must not be affected by drafts caused by kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return air registers for forced air
furnaces/air conditioners, windows or doors.
• Installation must provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
• DO NOT INSTALL THE VFS MODEL IN A BEDROOM OR BATHROOM.
THE DBX MODEL MAY BE INSTALLED IN A BEDROOM, BUT NOT IN A BATHROOM.
• Location should be out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies due to heat from firebox.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the unvented fireplace or restrict the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Minimize modifications to existing construction.
See Figure 18
below for location suggestions.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The unvented firebox must be
kept clear and free from the combustible materials.
