Continued

Note: When installing fi replace directly on 
carpeting, tile or other combustible material, 
other than wood fl ooring, the fi replace shall be 
installed on a metal or wood panel extending 
the full width and depth of the fi replace.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings 
to create the easiest installation (see 

Built-In 

Fireplace Installation

, page 11).

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use only the correct gas type (natural or 
propane/LP) for your unit. If you do not know 
your gas type, do not install heater. The heater 
leaves the factory set for propane/LP gas. If 
natural gas is desired, a qualifi ed installer can 
perform the simple conversion to natural gas 
by following the instructions on page 13.

        WARNING: This appliance 
is equipped for natural and 
propane/LP. Gas type is indicated 
on the rating plate. Field  conversion 
is not permitted other than between 
natural or propane gases.

        WARNING: Always have 
hood in place before operating 
fireplace. This prevents excessive 
temperatures on fireplace surfaces.

        WARNING: Failure to position 
the parts in accordance with these 
diagrams or failure to use only 
parts specifically approved with 
this fireplace may result in property 
damage or personal injury.
