Getting Started
D. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect
performance.
•
Install through the warm airspace enclosed by the building
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially
during lighting and die-down of the fire.
•
Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the
affects of wind loading.
•
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
•
Minimize the use of chimney offsets.
• Consider the appliance location relative to floor and ceiling
and attic joists.
•
Take into consideration the termination requirements.
Location NOT recommended:
• Not the highest point of the roof
• Wind loading possible
Windward
Recommended:
Outside Air Intake

E. Inspect Appliance & Components
• Remove appliance and components from packaging
and inspect for damage.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
• Read all the instructions before starting the instal-
lation. Follow these instructions carefully during
the installation to ensure maximum safety and
benefit.
