Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent
confi guration to be used, framing and fi nishing details,
and whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall
switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local
building code agency to ensure compliance with local
codes, including permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
•
Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
•
This fi replace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 3 for
suggested locations.
•
Location should be out of high traffi c areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appliance.
•
Never obstruct the front opening of the fi replace.
•
Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
fl ammable liquids may be stored.
