INSTALLATION

Continued

IMPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire- place in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 7.

Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except where stand- off spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

Note: When installing fireplace directly on car- peting, tile or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire- place Installation, page 11).

Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install fireplace. Call dealer where you bought fireplace for proper type fireplace.

WARNING: This appliance is equipped for (natural or pro- pane/LP) gas. Field conversion is not permitted.

FIREPLACE CLEARANCES

WARNING: Maintain the mini- mum clearances shown in Fig- ure 6. If you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling, and joining wall.
