Hearth Requirements

The Dutchwest Heater must be installed on rigid ﬂoor- ing. When the heater is installed directly on any com- bustible surface other than wood ﬂooring, a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit must be used as the hearth. There are no other hearth requirements.

WARNING:

• Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles

to prevent ﬁre hazard. Do not ﬁll air spaces with insulation. All venting compo- nents must maintain a 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustible materials. Maintain a 6” (152 mm) clearance when using single wall pipe.

•The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.

•Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions in- cluded with the venting system for complete installation procedures.
