INSTALLING HEATER BASE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not remove the data plates attached to the heater base assembly. The data plates contain important warranty and safety information.
WARNING: You must secure this heater to fire- place floor. If not, heater will move when you adjust controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.
WARNING: If installing in a sunken fireplace, special care is needed. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to heater control panel. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against sooting and con- trols being damaged. Raise fireplace floor with non- combustible material. Make sure material is secure.
CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly by the burner. This could damage heater. Only handle base assembly by grates.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burners are level. If heater is not level, heater will not work properly.
