WARNING

Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame placed in front of a gas log set can change the air flow characteristics of the fireplace 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 floor of the fireplace in order to raise the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier.

CAUTION

If the fireplace has a restrictive barrier and is equipped with a remote receiver, it must be placed outside or the combustion chamber. See “Installing Receiver” on page 9.
