service person. Vermont Castings Group Vented Gas
Logs must be installed only in a masonry or a UL 127
solid-fuel fireplace with minimum venting requirements,
see installation section.
3. To prevent malfunction, gas log set and flue should
be cleaned at least annually by a professional service
person. More frequent cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpeting, etc. It is imperative
that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways be kept clean.

minimum permanent vent opening to vent flue
products, Refer to installation instructions.

set is installed.

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and
liquids.

of high surface temperature and should stay away to
