Installation Planning; Minimum Clearances To Combustibles - Spartherm Varia M60h Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Please contact your dealer who offers suitable parts
for air inlet ducts (pipes and damper).
Make sure that the wire mesh is mounted at the com-
bustion air inlet.

3. INSTALLATION PLANNING

Clean all ashes out of the inside of the existing fire-
place opening. Make sure
that the chimney and fireplace are free of cracks, loose
mortar, creosote
deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If
necessary, have any
repair work done by a qualified professional before
installing the insert.
Do NOT remove bricks or mortar from the fireplace. In
case of an outside
air inlet or ash dump, fill with fiberglass insulation.
Adhere to minimum
clearances as illustrated.

OF THE PIPE AND OTHER PARTS
NEEDED TO INSTALL THE APPLI-
ANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN A FIRE, ESPECIALLY IF
COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE
TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES
ARE BLOCKED, PREVENTING THE FREE MOVE-
MENT OF COOLING AIR. DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE
AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS
OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE HAZARDOUS. DO NOT
INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR
spacer
MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS
OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING
APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST
OR UTILIZE AIR. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL
REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOK-
ING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL. THE OUTSIDE AIR
INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS
ICE AND/OR SNOW OR ANY OTHER OBSTACLES. IT
MUST BE UNRESTRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN
USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH
CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILLAGE AND AN INABILITY
TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO
SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS. NEGATIVE PRESSURE
WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT
YOUR APPLIANCE. TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH
SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLI-
ANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED AGAINST VAPOUR
BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED
OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE COULD
