WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the
HEATER should be located out of traffic
and away from furniture and draperies.
The surface of the Heater is hot when it is in use.
Young children should be watched carefully when
they are in the same room when the Heater is in
use, and they should be taught to avoid the hot
surface. Keep any objects that can burn well away
from the Heater, and observe the recommended
clearances that follow.

Locating the Stove

In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
• The location of outside walls;
• Where additional heat is needed:
• Where family members gather most often;
• The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper
next to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause
the wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the
binders in the wallpaper adhesive.

Stove locations
6/07 djt
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and
5 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Mea-
sure rear clearances from the outermost surface of the
steel rear skirt.
This heater is approved for installation into an alcove
constructed of combustible materials to the dimensions
and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
lation.
• Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles to
prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces
with insulation. All venting components must
maintain a 1" (25 mm) clearance to combus-
tible materials. Maintain a 6" (152 mm) clear-
ance when using single wall pipe. Maintain a
2" (51 mm) clearance on top and 1" (25 mm)
on sides and bottom when venting straight off
the rear.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer's instructions in-
cluded with the venting system for complete
installation procedures.
