IMPORTANT:
When finishing your firebox, combustible materials
such as wall board, gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood, etc.
may be butted up next to the sides and top of the firebox. Combustible
materials should never overlap the firebox front facing.
1. Assemble cabinet mantel as instructed.
2. Install gas piping to firebox location. See Installing Gas Line,
page 11. You may have to cut an access hole in the floor or
wall to run gas line to firebox. Make sure to locate access hole
so cabinet mantel will cover it when installed (see Figure 8).
3. Place firebox on floor in desired location. Make sure mantel
will be flush against wall when installed.
4. Carefully slide cabinet mantel over firebox. Be careful not to
scratch firebox, cabinet mantel, flooring, etc. when installing
(see Figure 9).
5. Install and properly test gas log heater. Follow installation in-
structions included with the vent-free gas log heater that is
being installed.
