The SÓLAS Wall Mount Vent Free Gas Fireplace utilizes a convection air heat exchange system to
maximize heat delivered from the fire-place. It is important that air flows freely through the convection
air system and out the top and side air grills. Do not place objects under the fireplace that will block the
convection air inlet flow or in front of any air outlet.
