OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

NOTICE: A qualified service per- son must install firebox. Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install the firebox

in a bedroom or bathroom

in a recreational vehicle

where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides of the firebox

in high traffic areas

in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: Log heaters in- stalled in this firebox create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to fire- box. Installing firebox next to vi- nyl or cloth wall coverings or operating firebox where impuri- ties in the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolor walls.

INSTALLATION

CLEARANCES

WARNING: Maintain the mini- mum clearances. If you can, pro- vide greater clearances from floor, ceiling, and adjoining wall.

Carefully follow the instructions below. This will ensure safe installation.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Figure 6)

A.Clearances from the side of the firebox opening to any combustible wall should not be less than 16 inches.

B.Clearances from the top of the firebox opening to the ceiling should not be less than 42 inches.

C.When the firebox is installed on car- peting or other combustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox should be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.

Mantel Clearances for Conventional Installation

D.Clearances from the bottom of firebox to the floor is 0 inches.

These fireboxes can be installed as free- standing units against a wall with the ap- proved, optional cabinet mantels (see Ac- cessories, page 13) or as a built-in unit. The clearances are the same for either installa- tion method.

CAUTION: Do not install the firebox directly on carpet or vinyl.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing firebox in rooms with- out enough ventilation air may cause mil- dew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

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

Note: Your Vanguard firebox is designed to be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed against any exterior surface on the rear, sides or top of your firebox, except where stand-off spac- ers are integrally attached. If stand-off spac- ers are attached to your firebox, these spac- ers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials. Use the dimensions shown for rough opening to create the easi- est installation.
