Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes determining where the unit is to 
be installed, the vent configuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and whether 
any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch, or remote control) 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:

•

  Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows. Minimum clearances to com-

bustibles must be maintained.

•

  This fireplace 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 appliance.

•

  Never obstruct the front opening of the fireplace.

•

  Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored.

•

  Vent pipe routing. Refer to the Venting section found in this manual for allowable venting 

configurations.

•

  These units can be installed in a bedroom. See National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z33.1/

NFPA 54 — (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code — (current edition), and 
Local Building Codes for specific installation requirements.
