PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH A RESTRICTIVE BARRIER

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS GAS LOG SET
The following are guidelines for placing a VWF log set with SPK, MVVK, or CVTHL kit in a fireplace that has a restric-
tive barrier along the bottom front opening of the fireplace. Some examples of barriers are glass/screen door frames and
sunken/recessed fireplaces.
Height of Restriction (X)
No restriction
0 to 1.5"

Greater than 1 / " to 3"

Greater than 3:
Glass door frames
with adjustable
louvers should have
the lovers fully open
while the unit is in
operation.
Height of restrictive barrier
caused by glass door frames,
recessed fireplaces, etc. from
the base or bottom surface of the
unit. (See Table).
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame placed in front of a gas log set can
change the air flow characteristics of the fireplace which in turn can cause the unit to
overheat and malfunction. Any deviation from the installation guidelines on this sheet
will potentially void the warranty.
noTE: non combustible material such as
refractory brick may be used to line the floor
of the fireplace in order to raise the height
of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive
barrier.
