SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efficient location for
your fireplace, you must take into consideration the
following guidelines:
1. The location must allow proper
clearances (see Installation Clearances
section)
2. Consider a location where burner would
be least effected by high winds and away
from doors and windows.
3. Select a location away from high traffic areas. Be
sure to take into consideration access to the
fireplace for service and repair.
A flush installation
is recommended where space is
limited or at a premium. Check local codes for any
restrictions.
Projected installations
can extend any distance into the
room. A projection may be ideal for a new addition on an
existing, finished wall.
Cornered installations
make use of space that may not
normally be used and provides a wider and more efficient
range for heat dispersement.
An internal wall installation
provides a discreet option
for area separation and can also be ideal as an addition to
an existing wall.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level. If the
fireplace is not level moisture may collect in areas causing
corrosion.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Verify the gas type used in your home. Make certain your
gas log is marked for the proper gas type. If the gas type
is incorrect, call the dealer where you bought the fireplace
for a proper type gas log.
