WARNING

The canopy must be in place to be in compliance with the clearances specified in Figures 4 & 5. Do not remove or replace canopy, only use canopy supplied or offered for these fireboxes (see Pages 16 & 17). Do not use any canopy which may be provided with the decorative type Vent-Free room heater.

If your mantel profile is unsafe, you may either:

•Raise the mantel to an acceptable height, or

•Remove the mantel.

Floor clearance: These fireplaces may sit directly on a combustible surface. The appliance should be mounted on a fully supported base extending the full width and depth of the unit. The appliance may be located on or near conventional construction materials. However,

if installed on combustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, etc., a metal or wood barrier covering the entire bottom surface must be used.
