LOCATINg FIREPLACE
Continued
CAUTION: Do not expose the
heater to the elements (such as
rain, etc.)
CAUTION: Wear gloves and
safety glasses for protection
during installation and main-
tenance.
Plan where to locate and frame fireplace.
Before installation consider the following:
1. Fireplace location must allow for wall and
ceiling clearances (see Installation Clear-
ances).
2. Fireplace screen should not be exposed
to direct sunlight from windows or doors.
3. Unit can be wired for either 120/60 (15
amp circuit) or 240/60 (20 amp circuit).
A dedicated circuit should be provided
to avoid circuit breaker trips or blown
fuses.
Flush Installations are recommended where
living space is limited or at a premium. Since
space required to enclose fireplace would
be located beyond an outside wall, this in-
stallation would require additional planning
and construction. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected Installations can extend any dis-
tance into room. A projection may be ideal for
a new addition on an existing, finished wall.
Corner Installations make use of space
that may not normally be used and provides
a wider and more efficient viewing angle and
heat distribution.
Internal Wall Installations provide a discrete
option for room separation and can also be an
ideal addition to an existing wall.
