LOCATING FIREPLACE
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances
shown in Figures 7 and 8. If you can, provide greater
clearances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.
You can recess firebox into the wall. You can also position fireplace
in the optional cabinet or corner mantels. IMPORTANT: Only use
optional cabinet or corner mantels specified in this manual. Purchase
the optional mantel from your dealer (see Accessories, page 29).
WARNING: Never install the fireplace
• in a bedroom or a bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 36 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the fireplace
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur-
rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities
(such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

I MPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although
this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough venti-
lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.
Note: When installing fireplace directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the fireplace
CAUTION: If you install the fireplace in a home garage
• fireplace pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches
above floor.
• locate fireplace where moving vehicle will not hit it.
