Cold Climate Insulation

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

NOTE

If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around your appliance, and wherever cold air could enter the room, with noncombustible material. It is especially important to insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and under the floor on which the appliance rests, if the floor is above ground level.

FIREPLACE LOCATION

Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent configuration to be used, framing and finishing details, and whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspec- tions.

The following factors should be taken into consideration:
