INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP
ACCESSORY FOR VENTED
OPERATION
Note: When used as a vented heater, ap-
pliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace with a working flue and con
-
structed of noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only:
Instal-
lation of this vented gas log set in the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts requires the
damper be permanently removed or welded
in the fully open position.
If your heater is a manually-controlled model,
you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your
heater in the vented mode.
1. The fireplace does not meet the clearance
to combustibles requirements for vent-free
operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
