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 clear-
ances 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 wall-
paper to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in the
wallpaper adhesive.

Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5
from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure
rear clearances from the outermost surface of the steel
rear skirt.
This heater is approved for installation into an alcove con-
structed 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 combustible
materials. Maintain a 6" (152 mm) clearance 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 included
with the venting system for complete installation
procedures.
