INSTALLING HEATER BASE ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the heater burners are level. If heater is not level, heater
will not work properly. For thermostat models, avoid damage to thermostat bulb.
Avoid nicks or sharp bends in thermostat bulb wire. Keep thermostat bulb in
mounting bracket.

panel. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against soot-
ing. Raise fireplace floor with non-combustible material. Make
sure material is secure.
