

Whenchoosingalocationforyournewstove,thereareamultitudeof

factorsthatshouldbetakenintoaccountbeforebeginningtheinstallation.



1. TrafficPatterns–Tohelppreventaccidents,thestoveshouldbeplaced

inalocationwhereitisoutofthewayofnormaltravelthroughthe

3. ExhaustLocation–Outsidewallsaregenerallythebestplacetoinstalla
