PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This firebox is designed for use with approved
ANSI Z21.11.2 decorative type unvented room
heaters. (Physical size limitations apply. Refer
to minimum firebox requirements supplied
with log heater.) It requires no outside vent-
ing or chimney making installation easy and
inexpensive. When used without the blower,
the firebox requires no electricity making it
ideal for emergency backup heat.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT ACCESSORY
The optional AK4 and AK4F air kit provides ad -
ditional outdoor air to improve burner efficiency
and reduce build-up of condensation in living
space. Follow instructions included with air kit.
REFRACTORY BRICK LINER
Your firebox may feature a concrete refractory
brick liner. As with all concrete liners, this liner
may develop slight cracks when exposed to
heat. These cracks will not affect the perfor-
mance of the fireplace or vent-free gas logs.
OPTIONAL FIBER LINERS
For a vintage look, the fiber panels give a old
masonry brick look and are light weight and
easy to install.
