maintained, the most desirable and beneficial location for an appliance is in the center of a building, thereby allowing the most efficient use of the heat created. The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow in the room where the appliance is to be located should be considered. If possible, you should choose a location where the vent will pass through the house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
If the appliance is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile or other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth.
If the optional fan or blower is installed, the junction box must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/ NFPA 70 National Electrical code in the United States.
