FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your pri- mary heating system. Do not in- stall this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circu- late the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person must install fireplace. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: This fireplace cre- ates warm air currents. These cur- rents move heat to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fire- place next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities (such as to- bacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls.
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 mate- rial. See framing details on page 4.
Place the fireplace into position and shim with noncombustible material if needed. Nail the side flanges to the framing to secure the unit in place. There are two floor brack- ets included with each unit. Use these as an alternative method of securing the fireplace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure fireplace is level
