Getting Started
A. Design and Installation Considerations
Consideration must be given to:
-
Safety
-
Convenience
-
Traffic flow
-
Chimney and chimney connector required
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and floor protection,
before actually beginning the installation. If you are not
using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there
will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney
through the ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and
your insurance company representative review your plans
before and after installation.
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near
it is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier
to go in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep
children away while it is operating and do not let anyone
operate this appliance unless they are familiar with these
operating instructions.
Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state
and national codes and regulations.

Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials
or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions,
