Location
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and func-
tional use of the appliance are primary concerns.
However, proper venting systems and access to the
fuel supply are also important issues. Due to the
high surface temperatures, you must also consider
the proximity of traffic areas, furniture, draperies,
etc.
This appliance may be located on or near
conventional construction materials. HOWEVER,
always maintain the proper clearances to combus-
tibles, as this provides adequate ventilation air
around the appliance.
The following clearances and hearth require-
ments are the minimum requirements when
installing the Firelight gas stove near or on combus-
tible surfaces. Always provide adequate access
around the appliance for servicing and proper
operation.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). These
surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and
also include materials that are behind non-combus-
tibles.
If you are not sure of the combustible nature of
a material, consult your local fire officials. Remem-
ber, “Fire Resistant” materials are considered com-
bustible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn.
Also, “fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combus-
tible.
Hearth Requirements
The Firelight gas stove CANNOT be installed directly
on carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or Pergo
® .
If it is desired to install this appliance on any
combustible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor
pad must be installed that is either metal, wood or a
listed hearth pad. This floor protection must extend
the full width and depth of the appliance. It is not
necessary to remove the carpeting, vinyl or linoleum
from underneath the floor protection. See Fig. 1.
