installation techniques appropriate for your area to
accomplish a safe and effective installation.
Your dealer or your local gas supplier will be able to
refer a qualified service person.
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the HEATER
should be located out of traffic and away from
furniture and draperies.
The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in
use. Young children should be watched carefully when
they are in the same room when the Heater is in use,
and they should be taught to avoid the hot surface.
Keep any objects that can burn well away from the
Heater, and observe the recommended clearances
that follow.

Locating The Stove

In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
•
The location of outside walls;
•
Where additional heat is needed:
•
Where family members gather most often;
•
The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper next
to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause the wall-
paper to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in the
wallpaper adhesive.

Clearance Requirements

9/28/00 djt
Minimum Clearances to Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5
from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure
rear clearances from the outermost surface of the steel
rear skirt.
The Radiance heater is approved for installation into an
alcove constructed of combustible materials to the dimen-
sions and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal-
lation.
• Always maintain required clearances (air
spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent
fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insu-
lation. All venting components must maintain a
1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials.
Maintain a 6" (150 mm) clearance when using
single wall pipe.
• The gas appliance and vent system must be vented
directly to the outside of the building and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas-burning appliance.
• Refer to the manufacturer's instructions included
with the venting system for complete installation
procedures.
