IMPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 6.

zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed directly against any ex-
terior surface of your fireplace, except where

against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Fireplace Installation, page 10).
