INSTALLATION

Continued

CAUTION: This fireplace cre- ates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall sur- faces next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities (such as, but not limited, to tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, clean- ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

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 standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

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

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters 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.

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

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your fireplace. If your gas supply is not cor- rect, 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.
