Figure 3 - Reference Drawing of a Natural Flame Log Set in an Enclosure
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame placed in front of a gas log set
can change the air flow characteristics of the fireplace which in turn can cause the
unit to overheat and malfunction.
NOTE: Non combustible material such as refractory brick may be used to line the floor of the fireplace
in order to raise the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier. If the unit is raised, the
minimum height dimension listed in the homeowner's manual must not be exceeded.
NOTE: If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life
by increasing the ambient temperature inside the fireplace. Placement of the receiver outside of the
fireplace will extend the battery life.
