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.

vice person must install fireplace.

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 fire-
place next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating fireplace
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.

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

ings to create the easiest installation. See

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.
