Consideration must be given to:

•  Safety

•  Convenience

 

•  Traffic flow

 

•  Chimney and chimney connector required

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact

measurements for clearances and floor protection, before 

actually beginning the installation.
We recommend that a qualified building inspector and your 

insurance company representative review your plans before

and after installation.

If this appliance is in an area where children may be near it

is recommended that you purchase a decorative barrier to go

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.

Fire Risk
•  HOT while in operation and after fire 

is out.

•  DO NOT operate without protective

barrier.

To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be 

given serious consideration:

1.  Install  at  least  one  smoke  detector  on  each  floor  of 

your  home  to  ensure  your  safety.    They  should  be

located  away  from  the  heating  appliance  and  close

to  the  sleeping  areas.    Follow  the  smoke  detector 

manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions,

and be sure to maintain regularly.

2.  A  conveniently  located  Class A  fire  extinguisher

to  contend  with  small  fires  resulting  from  burning

embers.

escape routes.
