ture 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

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.

Clearance Requirements

9/28/00 djt
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
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.
The Radiance 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" (25mm) clearance to com-
bustible materials. Maintain a 6" (150mm) clear-
ance when using single wall pipe.
• 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 includ-
ed with the venting system for complete instal-
lation procedures.
