LOCATION OF FIREBOX
Carefully select the best location for installation of your
vent-free firebox. The following factors should be taken
into consideration:
Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and
windows. See “Clearances/Height Requirements on
page 8. 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 THIS FIREBOX IN A
BEDROOM OR BATHROOM.
Location should be out of high traffic or windy or
drafty areas.
DO NOT INSTALL WHERE CURTAINS, FURNITURE, CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE OBJECTS
ARE LESS THAN 42" FROM FRONT OF HEATER.
Never obstruct the front opening of the vent-free firebox or restrict the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Minimize modifications to existing construction. Refer to Figure 3 below for location suggestions.
Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The vent-free firebox must be
kept clear and free from these combustible materials.
