STOVE LOCATION
Plan for the installation of your stove. This includes deter-
mining where the unit is to be installed, the vent configura-
tion to be used, framing and finishing details, and whether
any optional accessories (i.e. wall switch, or remote con-
trol) are desired. Consult your local building code agency
to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits
and inspections.
The following factors should be taken into consideration:
• This stove should have sufficient access for its safe
operation and maintenance.
• Locate a position where the flue system of the stove
can be properly installed without damaging the integrity
of the building (example: load-bearing framing mem-
bers).
• When the appliance is installed directly on carpeting,
tile or other combustible material other than wood floor-
ing, you must set appliance on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
• Check stove and flue system clearance requirements.
• Locate the stove where it can be accessed by a gas
supply line.
• For optimal heat circulation and comfort, centrally locate
the stove in a large and open room.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed.
• Minimum clearances to combustibles, side-wall, ceiling,
woodwork, and windows must be maintained. Page
8, Figures 4 and 5.
• This stove may be installed along a wall, across a corner,
or use an exterior chase. Refer to Figure 3 for suggested
locations.
• Location should be out of high traffic areas and away
from furniture and draperies due to heat from appli-
ance.
• Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
flammable liquids may be stored.
• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this
manual for allowable venting configurations.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. See National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current edition),
the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edition), and
Local Building Codes for specific installation require-
ments.
