It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and fl oor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you are not using an existing chimney, place the appliance where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

We recommend that a qualifi ed building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation
