For optimum performance, it is recommended that all horizontal runs have a ¼ inch rise per foot.

Objects placed in front of the fireplace must be kept a minimum of 48" away from the front face of the unit.

The stove and its individual shutoff valve must be discon- nected from the gas supply piping system during any pres- sure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of

½psig (3.5 kPa). The stove must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut- off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply pip- ing system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa)

The stove, when installed with a blower, must be electri- cally connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70-1996 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States.
