Due to the high operating temperatures this appliance
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies. Maintain proper clearance to
combustible mantels and fireplace trim.

5. Installation
Stove Location
In selecting a location for the stove, consider the following
points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.
This stove may be located on or near conventional
construction materials, however, proper clearance to
combustibles must be maintained in order to provide
adequate air circulation around the appliance. Also, it is
important to provide adequate access around the stove for
servicing and proper operation.
The clearances specified in this manual are the
minimum requirements established as a result of safety
testing. A combustible material is anything that can burn;
i.e. sheet rock , wall paper, wood, fabrics, etc. These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and
also include materials that may be located behind non-
combustible materials.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a
material, consult your local fire officials. "Fire-resistant"
materials are considered to be combustible. They may be
difficult to ignite, but will burn. "Fire -rated" sheet rock is
also considered combustible.
