AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement during power outage.

The warm air outlets MUST be installed BEFORE the first light. The amount of square inches needed for the

ENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE
ONLY a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specified in the manual may be used when
enclosing the fireplace.
