SELECTING

LOCATION

To determine the safest and most efficient location for your appliance, consider the following guidelines:

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

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

3.A location that avoids the cutting of joists or roof rafters makes installation easier.

In selecting a location, the following pre- cautions must be observed:

1. A projection may be ideal for a new ad-

dition on an existing finished wall. See

Horizontal Termination Configuration,

page 9, or Vertical Termination Con-

figuration, pages 10 through 12.

2. Do not locate appliance close to where

gasoline or other flammable liquids may

be stored. The appliance must be kept clear

and free from combustible materials.

3. Do not connect this appliance to a

chimney system used for solid fuel

burning fireplace.
