The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 - latest edition. (EXCEPTION: Do
not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the man-
ifold pressure at 3.5 inches w.c. for Natural Gas, and 10

In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the
current CSA B-149.1 Installation Codes and/or local
codes.
The installation should be done by a qualified service
person who is familiar with the building codes and
installation techniques appropriate for your area to
accomplish a safe and effective installation.
Your dealer or your local gas supplier will be able to
refer a qualified service person.
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 wall-
paper to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in the
wallpaper adhesive.
Clearance Requirements
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. 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.
