Getting Started
A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations
1. Appliance Location
NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fi re
offi cials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,
installation inspection and permits.
It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using
exact measurements for clearances and fl oor protection,
before actually beginning the installation
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety, convenience, traffi c fl ow
• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector.
• If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appli-
ance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-
built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
• Installing an optional outside air kit would affect the loca-
tion of the vent termination.

When locating vent and venting termination, vent above
roof line when possible.

proved venting specifi cally designed for corn to prevent corro-
sion or degradation. Follow the instructions from the venting
manufacturer.
