PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATION
This firebox is designed for use with approved ANSI Z21.11.2
decorative type unvented room heaters. (Physical size limitations
apply. Refer to minimum firebox requirements supplied with log
heater.) It requires no outside venting or chimney making installation
easy and inexpensive. When used without the blower, the firebox
requires no electricity making it ideal for emergency backup heat.
REFRACTORY BRICK LINER
Your firebox features a concrete refractory brick liner. As with all
concrete liners, this liner may develop slight cracks when exposed
to heat. These cracks will not affect the performance of the fireplace
or vent-free gas logs.

money later when you install the firebox. Before installation,
consider the following:

clearances (see Installation Clearances, page 8).
2. Everything needed to complete installation.
3. These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom unless the
maximum Btu rating of the installed vent-free log set is less
than 10,000 Btu/hr.
4. Proper air for combustion and ventilation (page 5).
