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 VWF log set with SPK, MVVK, or MXVK kit in a fi replace that has a restric-
tive barrier along the bottom front opening of the fi replace. Some examples of barriers are glass/screen door frames and
sunken/recessed fi replaces.

Height of restrictive barrier
caused by glass door frames,
recessed fi replaces, etc. from
the base or bottom surface of the
unit. (See Table).
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame placed in front of a gas log set can
change the air fl ow characteristics of the fi replace which in turn can cause the unit to
overheat and malfunction. Any deviation from the installation guidelines on this sheet
will potentially void the warranty.
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.
