INSTALLATION

Continued

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

WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creo- sote, ashes, and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.

Note: Your Vanguard fireplace insert 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 insert, except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your insert, these spacers can be placed directly against wall or framing materials.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire- place in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6. IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace insert is level. If fireplace insert is not level, log set will not work properly.
