Cold Climate Insulation; Manufactured Homes; Location - Superior SDVPF-N-B Installation Instructions Manual

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks
around your 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 appliance rests, if floor is above
ground level. Gas line holes and other open-
ings 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 cold transfer to the fireplace and into
the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside
surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness
and caulk firestops.
MANUFACTURED HOME
REQUIREMENTS
This appliance may be installed in an aftermar-
ket permanently located, manufactured home
(USA only) or Manufactured Home, where not

only) or Manufactured Home and must be
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and the Manufactured Home
Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CPF, Part 3280 or Standard for Installation
in Manufactured Homes, CAN/CSA Z240 MH.

CAUTION: This appliance must be
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 Canadian
Electrical Code CSA C22.1 - latest edi-
tion.

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 2).
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 2).

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 locat-
ing 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.
