NOTICE:
Check building codes prior to installation.

installation inspection and permits.
• Before installing, determine the following:
- Where the fireplace is to be installed.
- The vent system configuration to be used.
- Gas supply piping.
- Electrical wiring.
- Framing and finishing details.
- Whether optional accessories - devices such as a
fan, wall switch or remote control - are desired.

1. Selecting Fireplace Locations

This fireplace may be used as a room divider, installed
along a wall, across a corner or used in an exterior chase.
See Figure 2.2.
Locating the fireplace in a basement should be avoided.
Locating near frequently opened doors, central heat
outlets or returns, or other locations of considerable air
movement can affect the performance.
