This includes:
1.
Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct

Ensure that the appliance is venting correctly.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that
causes sooting or carboning that results in dam-
age is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

If the factory-built fireplace doesn't have gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1-1/2" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled though
the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a
proper workmanship like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with a non-combustible
insulation after the gas supply line has been
