Before leaving this unit with the customer, the
installer must ensure that the appliance is firing
correctly and operation fully explained to cus-
tomer.
This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct
firing rate (rate noted on label) after burning
appliance for 15 minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to en-
sure that the flame does not carbon. First

CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM dis-
tances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. (The
farthest distance is correct if the two
clearances do not coincide.) For example, if
the appliance is set as indicated in one of the
figures but the connector is too close, move the
stove until the correct clearance to the connec-
tor is obtained.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the
bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with unit)
is installed.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below for all installations.

needed, obtain re-
quirements for con-
struction of a pro-
tected wall from
your local building
authorities and their
allowable reduc-
tions of the listed
clearances.
DRAFT DIVERTER
This heater has a draft diverter built in. It must
not be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any
way, and the unit must be installed so that the
draft diverter is in the same atmospheric pres-
sure zone as the combustion air inlet to the
burner. This heater must be properly connected
to a flueing system. This heater is equipped with
a flue safety shutoff system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when
7-1/2" / 190 mm
not connected to a properly installed and
maintained flueing system or tampering
6" / 155 mm
with the flue safety shutoff system can
2" / 50 mm
result in carbon monoxide (CO) poison-
ing and possible death.
This heater is a flued appliance and must be
connected to a chimney/flue in accordance
with the installation codes.
Note:
The rear pedestal cover plate must
always be fitted for safety. Electri-
cal connections inside.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a
flue safety switch designed to sense incorrect
flueing and react by shutting down the gas
supply. This thermally actuated switch is locat-
ed within the draft diverter and will detect either
a blocked chimney or backdraft condition where
the chimney flow has reversed. If this switch
shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting
problem that must be identified and rectified
without delay - the thermally activated switch
must never be bypassed or disconnected as
a hazardous or deadly condition can result.
Flueing Requirements
A100 mm diameter flue is required. For cosmetic
or aesthetic purposes 6" outer flue can be used
