When deciding the location of your stove and
burner system, follow these rules:
• Do not connect this stove and burner sys-
tem to a chimney flue serving a separate
solid-fuel burning stove or appliance.
• Due to high temperatures, do not locate this
stove in high traffic areas, or near furniture
or draperies.
• Proper clearances must be maintained.
See Figure 3 below and Figure 4, page 6.
• This stove is a freestanding unit designed
to set directly on the floor. If your stove is
to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile, or any combustible material other than
wood, it must be installed on a metal or
wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the stove. See Figure 5, page 6.
