as described in this manual.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting a location for the fireplace:
• Ensure that all minimum clearances to combustible AND
non-combustible materials are met.
• Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
• Consider venting dimensions (rise, run and number of
elbows, etc.) when selecting the location for your fireplace.
• Locate the appliance out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Keep the location free of electrical, plumbing or other
heating/air conditioning ducting.
PLACING THE FIREPLACE
The base upon which the appliance rests must be sturdy, level
and built to safely support at least 500 pounds (230 kilograms).
The base may be the floor or a purpose-built raised platform, e.g.
wood, metal. When placed on a platform, a minimum 24 in

mm
) opening must be cut through the platform top. The lineset
can be routed through this opening. Room air must be allowed
to flow through the convection air inlets and then through this
platform opening. A linear cutout shape (Figure
