NOTE: Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

NOTE: Termination caps may be hot. Consider their proximity to doors or other traffic areas.

WARNING: In the U.S.: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened porches. You must follow side wall, overhang and ground clearances as slated in the instructions.

In Canada: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened porches. Vent system termination is permitted in porch areas with two or more sides open. You must follow side wall, overhang and ground clearances as stated in the instructions.

Quadra-Fire assumes no responsibility for the improper perfor- mance of the appliance when the venting system does not meet these requirements.

CAUTION: IF EXTERIOR WALLS ARE FINISHED WITH VINYL SIDING, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A VINYL PRO- TECTOR KIT BE INSTALLED.
