INSTALLING VENTED APPLICATIONS

PLACING AND SECURING APPLIANCE
You must secure the gas log heater to the fi replace fl oor. If not, the entire unit may move
when you adjust the controls. Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which
leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fi replace. You must raise
the fi replace fl oor to allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air fl ow
and guard against sooting. Raise the fi replace fl oor using noncombustible materials, as
described in Placement in a Fireplace with Restrictive Barrier on page 10.

tions on the fireplace/firebox floor. Drill two (2)
