INSTALLING APPLIANCE

WARNING: Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible material.

CAUTION: Do not pick up ap- pliance assembly by logs. This could damage unit. Only handle assembly by grate.

IMPORTANT: Make sure appliance is level. If unit is not level it will not work properly.

Center the appliance in the fireplace. Make certain the grate front feet sit inside the front edge of the fireplace and that there is adequate clearance around the appliance for access and operation.
