Safety Information cont'd.
 Cet appareil ne sert pas avec des portes en verre de
marché des accessoires.
 Wear gloves and safety glasses while installing or
performing maintenance procedures on this appliance.

Location

In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
The GF 300 DV IPI may be located on or near conven-
tional construction materials, however, proper clearance
to combustibles must be maintained in order to provide
adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is
important to provide adequate access around the stove
for servicing and proper operation.
The clearance and hearth specifications listed in this
manual are the minimum requirements for combustible
material. A combustible material is anything that can
burn (i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also
include materials that may be located behind non-com-
bustibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. Remember, "Fire
Resistant" materials are considered combustible: they are
difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also, "fire-rated" sheet
rock is considered combustible.
