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.
WARNING: If installing in a
sunken fireplace, special care is
needed. You must raise the fire-
place floor to allow access to
heater control panel. This will in-
sure adequate air flow and guard
against sooting. Raise fireplace
floor with noncombustible mate-
rial. Make sure material is secure.

INSTALLING DAMPER
CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR
VENTED OPERATION
Note:
When used as a vented heater, appli-
ance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace with a working flue and
constructed of noncombustible material.
If your heater is a manually controlled model,
you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your
heater in the vented mode.
1. The fireplace does not meet the clear-
ance to combustibles requirements for
vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you,
you must permanently open chimney flue
damper. You must install the damper clamp
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page
25). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep
damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent
flue opening you must provide. Attach
damper clamp so the minimum permanent
flue opening will be maintained at all times.
