UNVENTED NATURAL GAS LOG HEATER

INSTALLATION

Continued

NOTICE: Manual control heaters may be used as a vented product. If so, you must always run heater with chimney flue damper open. If running heater with damper open, noncombustible material above fireplace opening is not needed.

Minimum Noncombustible Material Clearances

If Not Using Mantel

Note: If using a mantel, proceed to If Using Mantel. If not using a mantel, follow the information below.

You must have noncombustible material(s) above both fireplace openings. Noncom- bustible materials (such as slate, marble, tile, etc.) must be at least 1/2 inch thick. With sheet metal, you must have noncom- bustible material behind it. Noncombus- tible material must extend at least 8" up (for all models). If noncombustible material is less than 12", you must install the fireplace hood accessory. See Figure 5 at right for minimum clearances.

IMPORTANT: If you cannot meet these minimum clearances, you must operate heater with chimney flue damper open. Go to Installing Damper Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation, page 10.
