Locating the Firebox

The Opti-V uses an illusory reflec-
tion technique and is designed
to work best when ambient light
levels are low. If the Opti-V is
installed in brightly lit areas, the
strong reflections may diminish
the flame.
Depending on your specific ap-
plication, installation of the unit
at a height appropriate for the
viewers enjoyment is important. It
is recommended that the follow-
ing guidelines be used for locating
the unit.
