IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing firebox in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 7.
IMPORTANT: Make sure firebox is level.
If firebox is not level, log set will not work
properly.
Note: Your firebox is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed against any exterior
surface on rear, sides, top or bottom of firebox,
except where standoff spacers are integrally
attached. If standoff spacers are attached to
firebox, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Firebox Installation, page 11).
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
WARNING: Maintain the
minimum clearances. If you can,
provide greater clearances from
floor, ceiling and adjoining wall.
Carefully follow these instructions. This will
ensure safe installation.

Figure 5)
A. Clearances from side of fireplace cabinet
to any combustible material and wall

These fireboxes can be installed as freestand-
ing units against a wall with approved, optional
cabinet mantels (see Accessories, page 15)
or as a built-in unit. Clearances are the same
for either installation method.
CAUTION: Do not install fire-
box directly on carpet or vinyl.
*Minimum 16" from Side Wall
Figure 5 - Minimum Clearance for
Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in firebox,
you must meet minimum allowable clearance
between mantel shelf and top of firebox open-
ing shown in Figure 6, page 11. These are
minimum allowable mantel clearances for a
safe installation. Use larger clearances wher-
ever possible to minimize heating of objects
and materials placed on mantel.
CAUTION: Do not allow
vent-free gas log heater to
touch or extend beyond fire-
place screen.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures
of adjacent walls and mantels
become hot during operation.
Walls and mantels above firebox
may become hot to the touch.
If installed properly, these tem-
peratures meet the requirement
of the national product standard.
Follow all minimum clearances
shown in this manual.
