AIR FOR COMBUSTION

AND VENTILATION

Continued

Ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat- controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: A qualified ser- vice person 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 42 inches from the front, top or sides of the firebox

•in high traffic areas

•in windy or drafty areas

*Unless the installed log set is rated at 10,000 Btu/Hr or less.

CAUTION: Log heaters in- stalledinthisfireboxcreatewarm aircurrents.Thesecurrentsmove heat to wall surfaces next to fire- box.Installingfireboxnexttovinyl or cloth wall coverings or operat- ingfireboxwhereimpurities(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.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add mois- ture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing firebox 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 firebox is level. If firebox is not level, log set will not work properly.

Note: Your 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, top or bottom of your firebox, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your firebox, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or fram- ing materials. Use the dimensions shown for rough opening to create the easiest installation.

Use dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 11).

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling and adjoining wall.

Carefully follow these instructions. This will ensure safe installation.

Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Figure 5, page 10)

A.Clearances from the side of the fireplace cabinet to any combustible material and wall should follow diagram in Figure 5, page 10.

Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf, etc. is made of combustible material and protrudes 3 1/2" from the wall. This combus- tible material must be 4" from the side of the fireplace cabinet (see Figure 5, page 10).
