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:
