Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for
combustion. The fresh air requirements of this ap-
pliance must be met within the space where it will
be installed.
Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several
potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend
installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the
smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to
reduce the possibility of occasional false activation
fromtheheatproducedbytheappliance). Ifyourlocal

PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to the pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rect-
angular opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point through which pipe will penetrate roof.
2. Determine center point of roof. Pitch is the distance the roof drops
over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the roof
drops 6" for each 12" one measure horizontally down from the
roof rafters.
