WARNING: A qualified service person must install

firebox. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the firebox

• in a bedroom or bathroom*

• in a recreational vehicle

• wherecurtains,furniture,clothingorotherflammable

objects are less than 36" from front or 42" from top

of firebox. For side clearances see Figure 5

• in high traffic areas

• in windy or drafty areas

* Unless the installed log set is rated at 10,000 Btu/

Hr or less.

CAUTION: Log heaters installed in this firebox

create warm air currents. These currents move heat

to wall surfaces next to firebox. Installing firebox next

to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating firebox

where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco

smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kero-

sene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls

or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Al-

though this is beneficial, installing firebox in rooms without enough

ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture.

See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6.

IMPORTANT: Make sure firebox is level. If firebox is not level, log set

will not work properly.

Note: Your firebox is designed to be used in zero clearance instal-

lations. Wall or framing material can be placed against any exterior

surface on rear, sides, top or bottom of firebox, except where standoff

spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to

firebox, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing

materials.

Use dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest

installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 9).

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling and

adjoining wall.

Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation

If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox, you must meet mini-

mum allowable clearance between mantel shelf and top of firebox

opening shown in Figure 6, page 9. These are minimum allowable

mantel clearances for a safe installation. Use larger clearances wher-

ever possible to minimize heating of objects and materials placed

on mantel.

CAUTION: Do not allow vent-free gas log heater

to touch or extend beyond fireplace screen.

NOTICE: Surface temperatures of adjacent walls and

mantels become hot during operation. Walls and

mantels above firebox may become hot to the touch.

If installed properly, these temperatures meet the

requirement of the national product standard. Follow

all minimum clearances shown in this manual.

NOTICE: If your installation does not meet the minimum

clearances shown, you must do one of the following:

• raise the mantel to an acceptable height

• remove the mantel
