You can recess firebox into the wall. You can also position fireplace in the optional cabinet mantels. IMPORTANT: Only use optional cabinet mantels specified in this manual. Purchase the optional mantel from your dealer (see Accessories, page 31).

WARNING: Never install the fireplace

•in a bedroom or a bathroom

•in a recreational vehicle

•where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam- mable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of the fireplace

•as a fireplace insert

•in high traffic areas

•in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur- rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating fireplace where impuri- ties (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough venti- lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 4 through 6.

CAUTION: If you install the fireplace in a home garage

•fireplace pilot and burner must be at least 18 inches above floor.

•locate fireplace where moving vehicle will not hit it.

For convenience and efficiency, install fireplace

•where there is easy access for operation, inspection, and service.

•in coldest part of room.

An optional blower kit is available from your dealer. See Accesso- ries, page 31. If planning to use blower, locate fireplace near an electrical outlet.
