mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary

late the heat throughout the

outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.

ings to create the easiest installation (see

ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

Make sure the fireplace is
level. If fireplace is not level, log set will not
work properly.
