The surface of the Heater Is hot when it is in use. Young children should be watched carefully when they are in the same room when the Heater is in use, and they should be taught to avoid the hot surface. Keep any objects that can burn well away from the Heater, and observe the recommended clearances that follow.
Locating the Stove
In choosing a location for the stove, consider:
•The location of outside walls;
•Where additional heat is needed:
•Where family members gather most often;
•The vent system requirements.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of wallpaper next to this stove. Over time, radiant heat may cause the wallpaper to shrink, or may adversely affect the binders in the wallpaper adhesive.
Clearance Requirements
Minimum Clearances to
Combustible Materials
Measure side clearances as shown in Figures 5 and 6 from the outer edge of the cast iron stove top. Measure rear clearances from the outermost surface of the steel rear skirt.
The Dutchwest heater is approved for installation into an alcove constructed of combustible materials to the dimensions and clearances shown on the next page.
The same clearances apply in a standard parallel instal- lation.
Warning:
•Always maintain required clear- ances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with
insulation. All venting components must maintain a 1” (25mm) clearance to combustible materials. Maintain a 6” (150mm) clearance when using a single wall pipe.
•The gas appliance and vent system must be vent- ed directly to the outside of the building and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or
•Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions included with the venting system for complete installation procedures.
