Due to high temperatures, the HEATER should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
The surface of the Heater is hot when it is in use. Young
children should be watched carefully when they are
in the same room when the Heater is in use, and they
should be taught to avoid the hot surface. Keep any
objects that can burn well away from the Heater, and
observe the recommended clearances that follow.
!

Locating the Stove:

In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
• The location of outside walls;
• Where additional heat is needed:
• Where family members gather most often;
• The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper next
to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause the
wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in
the wallpaper adhesive.

(51 mm) clearance on top and 1" (25 mm) on sides
and bottom when venting straight off the rear.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be vented
directly to the outside of the building and never be
attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel
or gas-burning appliance.
