LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
In selecting the location,the esthetic and func-
tional use of the appliance are primary con-
cerns. However vent system routing to the
exterior and access to the fuel suppl:~are also
mportant Consideration should be r;iven to
traffic ways,
furniture. draperies. etc.. due io
elevated surface temperatures. The location
should also be free oielectrical, plumbing or
other heatingtair conditioning duc:ing.
The appliance should be mounted on a fully
supported base extending the full width and
depth of the unit.The appliance may be located
on or nearconventional construction materials.
