Consideration must be given to:
• Safety
• Convenience
• Traffi c fl ow

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact
measurements for clearances and fl oor protection, before

ceiling and roof.
We recommend that a qualifi ed building inspector and your
insurance company representative review your plans before

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.

given serious consideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each fl oor of

and be sure to maintain regularly.

to contend with small fires resulting from burning
embers.
