COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE
DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE
DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS
OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE
AIR. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL.
THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRE-
STRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILL-
AGE AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.
TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE

LOCATION AND CLEARANCES

DO NOT INSTALL INTO ANY AREA HAVING A HEIGHT LESS THAN 7 FEET (CEILING OF ENCLOSURE TO
Do not build shelves or cupboards into the area above the appliance.
While the appliance can be installed directly on the fl oor, a non-combustible hearth extension is required in
front of the appliance, that must not be built higher than the bottom of the appliance to avoid air fl ow blockage.
It may therefore be advisable to build the appliance on a raised platform. The minimum distance between the
edge of the appliance and any adjacent wall, at right angles to it, is 21". A wall projecting at 45° from the outer
edge of the appliance is allowed; projections into this area are permitted. Do not install into any area having
a height less than 7 feet (ceiling to appliance base, excluding hearth height). See "FRAMING" section. The
location of windows, doors and the traffi c fl ow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be
considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house without
cutting a fl oor or roof joist.
For minimum clearance to combustibles, see "FRAMING" section.
