5. Installation Requirements
Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The stove may be located on or near conventional
construction materials, however, proper clearance to
combustibles must be maintained in order to provide adequate
air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is important to
provide adequate access around the stove for servicing and
operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this manual
are the minimum requirements for combustible material. A
combustible material is anything that can burn (i.e. sheet rock,
wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These surfaces are not limited
to those that are visible and also include materials that may be
located behind non-combustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a material,
consult your local fire officials. Remember, "Fire Resistant"
materials are considered combustible: they are difficult to
ignite, but will burn. Also, "fire-rated" sheet rock is considered
combustible.
Floor Protection
The Jøtul GF 520 DV has been approved for installation directly
on combustible floor materials. No additional floor protection is
required, however, we recommend that the stove be installed on
a non-compressible, solid surface.
INSTALLING THIS STOVE ON A
!
COMPRESSIBLE SURFACE SUCH
AS A THICK CARPET OR FOAM
FLOOR MAT WILL CAUSE THE STOVE
TO SETTLE AFTER INSTALLATION WHICH MAY
CREATE LEAKS IN THE VENTING SYSTEM!
