Assembly Procedures, Unpack the Firebox

Vermont Castings UVS27 Vent-Free Gas Heater

Assembly Procedures

Refer to the specific assembly instructions for the shell appropriate to your UVS27R or UVS27M Heater installation.

NOTE: If you intend to hard-plumb the gas supply line to the burner, you may wish to install the union or elbow at the burner control valve inlet before installing the firebox within the shell.

Unpack the Firebox

Remove the firebox assembly from the shipping carton and inspect it for loose or damaged parts. The burner, firebox and base plate should all be secured as a unit. Do not install this appliance if any parts are loose or if there is any visual or suspected damage resulting from shipping or handling. Report damage to your dealer/ distributor immediately. The log set is packaged in the box shipped inside the firebox.

To remove the packaged log set from the firebox, remove the screen frame, remove box and set aside. Contact your dealer if the burner is loose or damaged in any way.

Porcelain enamelled surfaces are fragile. Handle porcelain enamelled castings tenderly. Familiarize yourself with the assembly steps before you begin and proceed with deliberation and care. If possible, have assistance available.

Place enamelled castings on a soft, cushioned surface until you are ready to assembly.

Avoid contact between the castings and other hard surfaces or objects.
