B-VENT FREESTANDING FIREPLACE

PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must install fireplace. Follow all local codes.

CAUTION: This fireplace cre- ates warm air currents. These cur- rents move heat to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fire- place next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities (such as to- bacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.

LOCATION AND SPACE REQUIREMENTS

Determine the safest and most efficient loca- tion for your Vanguard B-vent freestanding fireplace. Make sure that rafters and wall studs are not in the way of the venting system. Choose a location where the heat output is not affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows, or doors. Figure 2 shows some common locations. Read all venting infor- mation in this manual. Be aware of all restric- tions and precautions before deciding the exact location for your fireplace.

When deciding the location of your fire- place, follow these rules:

1.Do not connect this fireplace to a chim- ney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning fireplace or appliance.

2.Due to high temperatures, do not lo- cate this fireplace in high traffic areas or near furniture or draperies.

3.Proper clearances must be maintained, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 on page 5.

4.This stove is a freestanding unit de- signed to set directly on the floor. If your fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combus- tible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
