PRODUCT FEATURES

PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This firebox has been tested and approved under ANSI Z21.91 for use
with any gas log approved to ANSI Z21.11.2 for indoor applications
and ANSI Z21.97 for outdoor applications. (Physical size limitations
apply. Refer to minimum firebox requirements supplied with log
heater.) It requires no outside venting or chimney making installation
easy and inexpensive. When used without blower, heater installed in
firebox requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup
heat.
REFRACTORY BRICK LINER
Your firebox may feature a concrete refractory brick liner. As with all
concrete liners, this liner may develop slight cracks when exposed
to heat. These cracks will not affect performance of fireplace or
vent-free gas logs.
OUTSIDE AIR KIT ACCESSORY
An optional AK4 air kit provides additional outdoor air to improve burner
efficiency and reduce build-up of condensation in the living space. Follow
instructions included with air kit.
