SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient
location for the fireplace, you must take into
consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clear-
ances (see Figures 1 and 2).
2. Consider a location where the fireplace
will not be affected by drafts, air condition-
ing ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of
joists or roof rafters will make installation
easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this
fireplace (see Optional Outside Air Kit on
page 7).
