COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around the appliance with noncombustible
material and wherever cold air could enter
the room. It is especially important to insulate
outside chase cavity between studs and under
floor on which the appliance rests, if floor is
above ground level. Gas line holes and other
openings should be caulked or stuffed with
unfaced fiberglass insulation. If the fireplace
is being installed on a cement slab, in cold
climates, a sheet of plywood or other raised
platform can be placed underneath to prevent
conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum
air tightness and caulk firestops.

grounded to the chassis of the manu-
factured home in accordance with local
codes or in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI
/ NFPA 70 - latest edition or the Cana-
dian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - latest

LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and
functional use of the appliance are primary
concerns. However, vent system routing to
the exterior and access to the fuel supply are
also important.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies (Figure 3).
En raison des températures élevées,
l'appareil devrait être installé dans un endroit
où il y a peu de circulation et loin du mobilier
et des tentures (Figure 3).

The location should also be free of electrical,
plumbing or other heating/air conditioning
ducting.
These direct-vent appliances are uniquely suited
for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned
directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves like
these are commonly used for locating television
sets and decorative plants.
Be aware that this is a heat producing ap-
pliance. Objects placed above the unit are
exposed to elevated temperatures.
Do not insulate the space between the ap-
pliance and the area above it (see Figure 8
on Page 8).
The minimum height from the base of the appli-
ance to the underside of combustible materials
used to construct a utility shelf in this fashion
is shown in Figure 8 on Page 8.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit. The appliance may be located
on or near conventional construction materials.
However, if installed on combustible materials,
such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or
wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface
must be used.
