INSTALLING – Clearances
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

Ventilation

IMPORTANT:
Make sure the firebox is level. If firebox is
not level, log set will not work properly.
