If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulatetheheatthroughoutthe house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

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" from the front, top or sides of the firebox

•in high traffic areas

IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture 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 4.

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 directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides or top 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 framing materials.

Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 10).
