must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to heater control
panel. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against soot-
ing. Raise fireplace floor with non-combustible material. Make
sure material is secure.
CAUTION
Do not pick up heater base assembly by the burner. This could
damage heater. Only handle base assembly by grates.

You must secure this heater to fireplace floor. If not, heater will move
