CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur-
rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating fireplace where impuri-
ties (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or
cause odors.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although
this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough venti-
lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air
for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
CAUTION: If you install the fireplace in a home
garage

inches above floor.
