INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free gas log
heaters add moisture to the air. Although
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.
pages 3 through 5.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the firebox is
level. If the firebox is not level, log set
will not work properly.
NOTE:
Your firebox is designed to be
used in zero clearance installations. Wall
or framing material can be placed against
any exterior surface on the rear or top of
your firebox, except where the standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If
standoff spacers are attached to your
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
7).
