LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
Provide adequate ventilation and combustion air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servic- ing and operating the stove.
Never obstruct the front opening of the stove.
As long as clearance to combustibles is kept within the required distances, the most desirable and beneficial lo- cation for a Napoleon stove is in the centre 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 stove is to be located should be consid- ered.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR PROVISIONS
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro- vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
This fireplace must be installed against a finished wall. Do not install against a vapour barrier or exposed insu- lation.
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a con- fined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose vol- ume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appli- ances installed in that space. Rooms communicating di- rectly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors are consid- ered a part of the unconfined space.
DETERMINING CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE:
To determine the volume of the room where the heater is to be installed, multiply the width x the length x the ceiling height of that room measured in feet. If any adjoining rooms are connected by grills or openings such as kitchen pass- throughs, etc., the volume of those rooms may be added to the total.
Multiply the room volume by 1000 and divide this amount by 50 to determine the maximum Btu/hr that the space can support with adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Add the Btu/hr of all fuel burning appliances located within the space such as gas furnace, gas water heater, etc. Do not include direct vent gas appliances which draw their input and output air from and to the outdoors.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3 or the applicable local code.
