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 Air for Combustion
and Ventilation , page 8.
IMPORTANT: Make sure firebox is level.
If firebox is not level, log set will not work
properly.
Note: Your firebox is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides, top or bottom of
your firebox, except where standoff spacers
are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are
attached to your firebox, these spacers can
be placed directly against wall or framing ma-
terials. Use the dimensions shown for rough
opening to create the easiest installation.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Firebox Installation , page 12).
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
WARNING: Maintain the
minimum clearances. If you can,
provide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling and adjoining wall.
Carefully follow these instructions. This will
ensure safe installation.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see
Figure 6)
A. Clearances from the side of fireplace
cabinet to any combustible material and
wall should follow diagram in Figure 6.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf,
etc. is made of combustible material and
protrudes 3

" from the wall. This com-
bustible material must be 4" from the side
of the fireplace cabinet (see Figure 6).
B. Clearances from the top of firebox opening
to ceiling should not be less than 42".
C. When firebox is installed on carpeting or
other combustible material, other than

same for either installation method.
CAUTION: Do not install
the firebox directly on carpet
or vinyl.
Example
Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox,
you must meet the minimum allowable clear-
ance between mantel shelf and top of firebox
opening shown in Figure 7, page 12. These
are the minimum allowable mantel clearances
for a safe installation. Use larger clearances
wherever possible to minimize the heating of
objects and materials placed on the mantel.
CAUTION: Do not allow the
vent-free gas log heater to touch
or extend beyond the fireplace
screen.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures
of adjacent walls and mantels
become hot during operation.
Walls and mantels above the
firebox may become hot to
the touch. If installed properly,
these temperatures meet the
requirement of the national
product standard. Follow all
minimum clearances shown in
this manual.
