INSTALLATION
Locating Fireplace
Built-In Fireplace Installation
You can recess firebox into the wall. You can also position fireplace
in the optional cabinet mantels.
IMPORTANT:
Only use optional
cabinet mantels specified in this manual. Purchase the optional
mantel from your dealer (see Accessories, page 31).
CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur-
rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating fireplace where impuri-
ties (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or
cause odors.
WARNING: Never install the fireplace
• in a bedroom or a bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 42 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the fireplace
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas

MPORTANT:
Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although
this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough venti-
lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
LOCATING FIREPLACE
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 4. If you can, provide greater clear-
ances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.

CAUTION: If you install the fireplace in a home
garage
• fireplace pilot and burner must be at least 18
inches above floor.

For convenience and efficiency, install fireplace
• where there is easy access for operation, inspection, and service.
• in coldest part of room.
An optional blower kit is available from your dealer. See Accesso-
ries, page 31. If planning to use blower, locate fireplace near an
electrical outlet.
Minimum Clearances For Side Combustible
Material, Side Wall, and Ceiling

this manner. If installing a built-in mantel above the fireplace, you
must follow the clearances shown in Figure 8, page 9.

If desired, purchase a four-sided brass trim kit for built-in
