CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to fireplace. Installing
fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating
fireplace where impurities (such
as, but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero
clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be
placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear,
sides, or top of your fireplace, except where standoff
spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are
attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire-
place Installation, page 17).
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to
the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire-
place in rooms without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 5.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level. If
fireplace is not level, log set will not work properly.

for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do
