INSTALLATION

INSTALLING DAMPER
CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR
VENTED OPERATION

Note:

 When used as a vented heater, appli-

ance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace with a working flue and
constructed of non combustible material.

If your heater is a manually controlled model,
you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your
heater in the vented mode:

1.

The fireplace does not meet the clear-
ance to combustibles requirements for
vent-free operation

2.

State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation

3.

You prefer vented operation

If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you,
you must permanently open chimney flue
damper. You must install the damper clamp
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page
30). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep
damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.

INSTALLING HEATER BASE
ASSEMBLY

  WARNING: If installing in a

sunken fireplace, special care is
needed. You must raise the fire-
place floor to allow access to
heater control panel. This will in-
sure adequate air flow and guard
against sooting. Raise fireplace
floor with non-combustible mate-
rial. Make sure material is secure.

 CAUTION: Do not pick up

heater base assembly by the
burner. This could damage
heater. Only handle base assem-
bly by grates.

 WARNING: You must secure

this heater to fireplace floor. If
not, heater will move when you
adjust controls. Moving heater
may cause a gas leak.

IMPORTANT:

 Make sure the heater burner

is level. If heater is not level, heater will not
work properly.

See chart below for minimum permanent
flue opening you must provide. Attach
damper clamp so the minimum permanent
flue opening will be maintained at all times.
