WARNING: Installation of this appliance should be
done by a qualifi ed service person well trained in the
installation of such appliances. You will also need a
building permit from your local Building and Safety

NOTICE: Decorative product not for use as a heating
appliance.
The appliance and it's individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
For the purpose of input adjustment two pressure taps (for IN and
OUT pressures) are provided on the gas control valve for test gauge
connections to the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not connect appliance before pressure
testing gas piping. Damage to gas valve may result and
an unsafe condition may be caused.

SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most effi cient location for your appliance,
you must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances,
Page 7).
2. Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by
drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make
installation easier. Figure 1 shows a plan view of a few common
locations.

INTRODUCTION

Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or
at a premium and since the space required to enclose the appliance
would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the
cutting of joists, roof rafters and such. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected installations can extend any distance into the room. A
projection may be ideal for a new addition on an existing, fi nished wall.
Corner installations make use of space that may not normally be
used and provides a wider and more effi cient range for radiant heat
transference.
Internal wall installations provide a discreet option for room separa-
tion and can also be ideal as an addition to an existing wall.
