SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for your fire-
place, consider the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figure 1).
2. Consider a location where the firepace would not be affected
by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters makes
ventilation installation easier.
In selecting a location, the following precautions must be observed:
• Do not connect this appliance to a chimney system used for solid
fuel burning fireplace.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this appliance in high
traffic areas or near furniture and draperies.
• Never obstruct the openings of the appliance or flow of ventila-
tion air. Keep the control compartments accessible.
• Do not locate appliance close to where gasoline or other flam-
mable liquids may be stored. The appliance must be kept clear
and free from combustible materials.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme-
diately contact a local service technician to examine the appli-
ance and to replace any part(s) of the control ignition system and
other related components that have been submerged under water.

Flush installation is recommended where living space is limited.
Projected installation may be ideal for a new addition to an
existing finished wall.
Corner installation makes use of a space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more efficient range for radiant heat
transfer.

Minimum clearances to combustibles for the fireplace are:
• Back and Sides of Fireplace .................................................. 0"
• Floor ...................................................................................... 0"
• Perpendicular Wall ................................................................ 6"
• Front .................................................................................... 36"
• Top of Standoffs .................................................................... 0"
CAUTION: Do not block required air spaces with
insulation or any other material. Do not obstruct the
effective opening of the appliance with any type of
facing material.
