FIREPLACE LOCATION

Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes
determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent con-
fi guration to be used, framing and fi nishing details, and
whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch,
or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building
code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, includ-
ing permits and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows.
Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-
tained.
• This fi replace may be installed along a wall, across a
corner, or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 4 for
suggested locations.
• Location should be out of high traffi c areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appliance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the fi replace.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
fl ammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this
manual for allowable venting confi gurations.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. See National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 — (current
edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code — (current edi-
tion), and Local Building Codes for specifi c installation
requirements.
