NEW CONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATION

ture and is located at least 3 feet (or 0.9m)
away from combustible materials such as cur-
tains or drapes, furniture, bedding, paper, etc.
2. Place the unit in selected location to see
how it will look in the future.
3. Mark the desired location on the floor and
store unit in a safe, dry and dust free location.

(6mm) around the edge of the unit. Any new
wiring must be done in compliance with local

lations in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or other injuries. Therefore, it is
strongly recommended that you hire a profes-
sional to complete any such work.
