LOCATION
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns.
However, vent system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture
and draperies, etc. (Figure 1). The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other
heating/air conditioning ducting.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of
the unit. The appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However,
if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or wood barrier
covering the entire bottom surface must be used.

INSTALLATION
When the unit is installed with one
side flush with a wall, the wall on the
other side of the unit must not extend
beyond the front edge of the unit.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible material
and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is especially important to insulate outside chase
cavity between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas
line holes and other openings should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced fiberglass insulation. In
cold climates, if the fireplace is being installed on a cement slab, a sheet of plywood or other raised
platform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to
sheetrock inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
