Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent con-
figuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and

code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, includ-
ing permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
•
Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
•
This fireplace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 4 for
suggested locations.

Location should be out of high traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appli-
ance.
•
Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.
•
Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
flammable liquids may be stored.
