The following factors should be taken into consideration: • Clearance to side wall, ceiling, woodwork and windows. See “Clearances/Height Requirements on page 8. 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 FIREBOX IN A BEDROOM OR BATHROOM. • Location should be out of high traffic or windy or drafty areas. • DO NOT INSTALL WHERE CURTAINS, FURNITURE, CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE OBJECTS ARE LESS THAN 42" FROM FRONT OF HEATER. • Never obstruct the front opening of the vent-free firebox or restrict the flow of combustion and ventilation air. • Minimize modifications to existing construction. Refer to Figure 3 below for location suggestions. • Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other flammable liquids may be stored. The vent-free firebox must be kept clear and free from these combustible materials. Figure 3 - Location of Firebox CLEARANCES and HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS Ensure that minimum clearances shown in Figures 4 through 7 are maintained. Left and right clearances are determined when facing the front of the firebox. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure safe installation. Failure to follow these requirements may create a fire hazard. 1. Sidewall clearances: The clearance from the inside of the appliance to any combustible wall should not be less than 9". See Figure 4. 2. Ceiling clearance: The ceiling must be at least 42” from the top of the firebox opening. See Figure 4. 3. Back wall clearnace: The appliance may be placed against a combustible back wall. 9" Minimum42"Minimum9"Minimum Figure 4 - Clearance and Height Requirements Continued on page 10 CLEARANCES and HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS 4.
