Carefully select the best location for installation of your
vent-free firebox. The following factors should be taken
into consideration:
•
Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and windows.
Refer to "Clearances/Height Requirements" on Page 8.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
•
Location must not be affected by drafts caused by
kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return air registers
for forced air furnaces / air conditioners, windows or
doors.
•
Installation must provide adequate ventilation and com-
bustion air.

of the appliance to any combustible wall should not be
less than 6". Figure 4
2. Ceiling clearance: The ceiling must be at least 42"
from the top of the firebox opening. Figure 4
