2 Getting Started

A. Design & Installation Considerations

Quadra-Fire direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air drawn from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional air source is required.

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

•Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

•Consult local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

When planning an installation, it is necessary to determine the following information before installing:

•Where the appliance is to be installed.

•The vent system configuration to be used.

•Gas supply piping.

•Electrical wiring.

•Whether optional accessories - devices such as a blower, thermostat or remote control - are desired.

Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the appliance. Tod- dlers, young children and others may be susceptible to accidental contact burns. A physical barrier is recom- mended if there are at risk individuals in the house. To restrict access to an appliance, install an adjustable safety gate to keep toddlers, young children and other at risk individuals out of the room and away from hot surfaces.
