OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This firebox in combi- nation with unvented logsets are intended for use as supplemen- tal heat. Do not install them as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulat- ing blower while using unvented logs. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use unvented logs as your pri- mary heat source.

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must install firebox. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the firebox

• in a bedroom or bathroom
•	in a recreational vehicle
•	where curtains, furniture, cloth-
	ing, or other flammable objects

Note: Your Comfort Glow firebox is de- signed to be used in zero clearance installa- tions. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your firebox, except where standoff spacers are integrally at- tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your firebox, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

Use the dimensions shown for rough open- ings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 10).

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing firebox in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combus- tion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the firebox is level. If firebox is not level, log set will not work properly.
