SELECTING LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appli- ance, you must take into consideration the following guidelines:

1.The location must allow for proper clearances (see Clearances, next column).

2.Consider a location where heat output would not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors.

3.A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters will make installation easier. Figure 2 shows a plan view of a few common locations.

Flush installations are recommended where living space is limited or at a premium, and since the space required to enclose the appliance would be located beyond an outside wall, this would also reduce the cutting of joists, roof rafters, and such. Check local codes for any restrictions.
