IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE IN-
STALLATION OF THIS GAS LOG SET
The following are guidelines for placing a gas log set in
a fi replace that has a restrictive barrier along the bottom
front opening of the fi replace. Some examples of barri-
ers are glass/screen door frames and sunken/recessed
fi replaces.
Height of
Restriction (x)
No Restriction
0" to 1

Greater than 1
Greater than 3"
*Any barrier greater than 3" placed in front of the gas log
set is not recommended by the manufacturer.
NOTE: Non combustible material such as refractory brick
may be used to line the fl oor of the fi replace in order to raise
the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier.
If the unit is raised, the minimum height dimension listed in
the homeowner's manual must not be exceeded.
NOTE: If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a
restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life by increasing
the ambient temperature inside the fi replace. Placement
of the receiver outside of the fi replace will extend the
battery life.
