Location

In selecting a location for the stove, consider the
following points:
1) Heat distribution
2) Vent termination requirements
3) Gas supply line routing
4) Traffic areas, furniture, draperies, etc.

The stove may be located on or near conven-

tional construction materials, however, proper
clearance to combustibles must be maintained in
order to provide adequate air circulation around the
appliance. Also, it is important to provide adequate
access around the stove for servicing and proper
operation.

The clearance and hearth specifications listed in

this manual are the minimum requirements for
combustible material. A combustible material 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
may be located behind non-combustibles.

If you are not sure of the combustible nature of a

material, consult your local fire officials. Remember,
“Fire Resistant” materials are considered combus-
tible: they are difficult to ignite, but will burn. Also,
“fire-rated” sheet rock is considered combustible.

Hearth Requirements

The GF 100 DV II and GF 200 DV II should not be
installed directly on carpeting, vinyl, linoleum or
Pergo

®

.

If the appliance will be installed on any combus-

tible material OTHER THAN WOOD, a floor pad must
be installed that is either metal or 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 carpeting, vinyl or linoleum
from underneath the floor protection. See fig. 1.
