FIGURE 2
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servic-
ing and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the
required distances, the most desirable and beneficial lo-
cation for a Napoleon stove is in the centre of a building,
thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created.
The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the
room where the stove is to be located should be consid-
ered.
MAINTAIN THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES:
A. 6" B. 6" C. 2"*
NO ADDITIONAL FLOOR PROTECTION IS REQUIRED.
MINIMUM 46" FROM STOVE TOP TO CEILING.
* AT A DISTANCE OF 2” FROM THE WALL, ACCESS TO THE BLOWER
SWITCH
, ON-OFF SWITCH OR THE BLOWER POWER CORD MAY
NOT
BE PRACTICAL.

AIR PROVISIONS
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro-
vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
This fireplace must be installed against a finished wall.
Do not install against a vapour barrier or exposed insu-
lation.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a con-
fined space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m
3
per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space as a space whose vol-
ume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appli-
ances installed in that space. Rooms communicating di-
rectly with the space in which the appliances are installed,
through openings not furnished with doors are consid-
ered a part of the unconfined space.
The GVFS60 is rated at 30,000BTUs per hour and
therefore requires a minimum unconfined space
of 1,500 cubic feet.
DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE:
To determine the volume of the room where the heater is
to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling
height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms
are connected by grills or openings such as kitchen pass-
throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added
to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount
by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can
support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within
the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do
not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their
input and output air from and to the outdoors.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated
is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if
the building is of unusually tight construction, provide
adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
