INSTALLATION
Continued
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 7.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the 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 fram-
ing materials. 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 11).
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.

to the ceiling should not be less than 42".
C. When the firebox is installed on carpeting or
other combustible material, other than wood

Figure 5 - Minimum Clearance for
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 6, page 11. 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.
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.
