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.

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. If the unit is raised, the minimum height dimension listed in the homeowner’s manual must not be exceeded.

NOTE: If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life by increasing the ambient temperature inside the fireplace. Placement of the receiver outside of the fireplace will extend the battery life.
