INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat. Use
this heater along with your pri-
mary heating system. Do not in-
stall this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central
heating system, you may run
system's circulating blower while
using heater. This will help circu-
late the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install fireplace.
Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the
fireplace
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 42 inches
from the front, top, or sides of
the fireplace
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These cur-
rents move heat to wall surfaces
next to fireplace. Installing fireplace
next to vinyl or cloth wall cover-
ings or operating fireplace where
impurities (such as tobacco smoke,
aromatic candles, cleaning fluids,
oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the
air exist, may discolor walls.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used
in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-
ing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top
of your fireplace, except where stand-off
spacers are integrally attached. If stand-off
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these
spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough open-
ings to create the easiest installation. See
Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 9.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is
level. If fireplace is not level, log set will not
work properly.

CHECK GAS TYPE

not natural gas, do not install fireplace. Call
