Alcove Installations
Because of their restricted air flow and heat reten-
tion characteristics, alcove installations have specific
construction requirements and special clearances. No
rear stove or chimney connector heat shields are used
in alcove installations. Bottom heat shield requirements
remain the same as for other installations.
ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE ENCORE IS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA.
