PRE-INSTALLATION
PREPARATION
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install fireplace.
Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These cur-
rents move heat to wall surfaces
next to fireplace. Installing fire-
place next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating fireplace
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.
LOCATION AND SPACE
REQUIREMENTS
Determine the safest and most efficient lo-
cation for your Vanguard B-vent freestand-
ing fireplace. Make sure that rafters and
wall studs are not in the way of the venting
system. Choose a location where the heat
output is not affected by drafts, air condi-
tioning ducts, windows, or doors. Figure 2
shows some common locations. Read all
venting information in this manual. Be aware
of all restrictions and precautions before
deciding the exact location for your fire-
place.
When deciding the location of your fire-
place, follow these rules:
1.
Do not connect this fireplace to a chim-
ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel
burning fireplace or appliance.
2.
Due to high temperatures, do not lo-
cate this fireplace in high traffic areas
or near furniture or draperies.
3.
Proper clearances must be maintained,
see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 5.
4.
This stove is a freestanding unit de-
signed to set directly on the floor. If
your fireplace is to be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combus-
tible material other than wood, it must
be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of
the fireplace. See Figure 5, page 5.
