!
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
wallpaper 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
constructed of combustible materials to the dimensions and
clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel installation.

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.
