PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH A RESTRICTIVE BARRIER
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS GAS LOG
SET
The following are guidelines for placing a VWF log set with SPK, MVVK, or CVTHL kit in a fireplace
that has a restrictive barrier along the bottom front opening of the fireplace. Some examples of bar-
riers are glass/screen door frames and sunken/recessed fireplaces.
Glass door frames with
adjustable louvers should
have the lovers
fully open
while the unit is in operation.
Height of restrictive barrier caused
by glass door frames, recessed
fireplaces, etc. from the base or
bottom surface of the unit.
(See Table).
The log set should be placed against
or as near as possible to the rear wall
of the fireplace/firebox.
Depth of fireplace/firebox.
(Refer to Table).
Figure 2
NOTE:
Noncombustible material such as refractory brick
may be used to line the floor of the fireplace in order to
raise the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive
barrier.

ARNING
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door
frame placed in front of a gas log set can
change the air flow characteristics of the
fireplace which in turn can cause the unit
to overheat and malfunction. Any deviation
from the installation guidelines on this sheet
will potentially void the warranty.
CAUTION
If the fireplace has a restrictive barrier and
is equipped with a remote receiver, it must
be placed outside.
