IMPORTANT:
When finishing your firebox,
combustible materials such as wall board,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may be butted up next to the sides and top
of the firebox. Combustible materials should
never overlap the firebox front facing.
WARNING: Do not allow any
combustible materials to over-
lap the firebox front facing (see
Figure 9).
IMPORTANT:
Noncombustible materials such
as brick, tile, etc. may overlap the front facing,
but should never cover any necessary open-
ings like louvered slots.
WARNING: Never modify or
cover the louvered slots on the
front of the firebox.
WARNING: Use only non-
combustible mortar or adhe-
sives when overlapping the front
facing with noncombustible
facing material.
WARNING: Do not fill the
spaces around the firebox with
insulation or other materials.
WARNING: Framing may be
placed or rest against fireplace
spacer, however; framing must
never be notched.
WARNING: Do not alter, cut
or modify fireplace spacers.

INSTALLING GAS LINE
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must connect ap-
pliance to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
IMPORTANT:
See
Connecting to Gas Supply
in your log set owner’s manual for details on
gas hookup.
You may run the gas line from either side of
the firebox (see Figure 11, page 12). When
you have determined how the gas line will run,
locate one of the recessed knockouts in the
firebrick floor (see Figure 12, page 12). Firmly
tap the center of the knockout with a chisel
until it is released. Carefully chisel the rough
edges of the hole you have made to smooth
edges. This hole will line up with the hole in
the metal floor.
