LOCATION OF FIREPLACE
Carefully select the best location for installation of your unvented fireplace. The following factors should be taken 
into consideration.
  •  Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and window or other combustibles. Refer to “Clearances and Height Require-
ments” section on page 14. Minimum clearances to combustibles must be maintained.
  •  Location must not be affected by drafts caused by kitchen exhaust fans, ceiling fans, return air registers for forced 
air furnaces / air conditioners, windows or doors.
  •  Installation must provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
  •  DO NOT INSTALL THIS MODEL IN A BEDROOM OR BATHROOM.
  
•  Location should be out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies due to heat from firebox.
  •  Never obstruct the front opening of the unvented fireplace or restrict the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
  •  Minimize modifications to existing construction. See Figure 6 below for location suggestions.
  •  Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The unvented firebox must be 
kept clear and free from the combustible materials.
