Getting Started
A. Design, Installation & Location Consider ations
Consideration must be given to:
• Safety
• Convenience
• Traffi c fl ow
• Chimney and chimney connector required
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. If you are not using an
existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a
clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the
ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualifi ed building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before
and after installation
If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it
is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go
in front of the appliance. Remember to always keep children
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating
instructions.
NOTE: Service Space
In order to replace the tube channel a clearance of 17
inches (432mm) is required on the right side of stove in
order to remove the tubes with the stove in place.
If space is not available, the stove will have to be discon-
nected from the chimney to proceed with the tube replace-
ment. See page 32.
CAUTION
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.

tion, and permits.
