PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH A RESTRICTIVE BARRIER

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS GAS LOG SET
The following are guidelines for placing a gas log set in a fi replace that has a restrictive barrier along the bottom front opening

NOTE: Non combustible material such as refractory brick may be used to line the fl oor of the fi replace
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 fi replace. Placement of the receiver outside of the
fi replace will extend the battery life.
