INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. If
you can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceil-
ing, and adjoining wall.
Carefully follow the instructions below. This will ensure safe
installation.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Figure 4)
A. Clearances from the side of the fireplace cabinet to any com-
bustible material and wall should follow diagram in Figure 4.
Example:
The face of a mantel, bookshelf, etc. is made of
combustible material and protrudes 3
1
/2" from the wall. This
combustible material must be 4" from the side of the fireplace
cabinet (see Figure 4).
B. Clearances from the top of the firebox opening to the ceiling
should not be less than 42 inches.
C. When the firebox is installed on carpeting or other combus-
tible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox should be
installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the enclosure.
D. Clearances from the bottom of firebox to the floor is 0 inches.
These fireboxes can be installed as freestanding units against a wall
with approved cabinet mantels that may be available from your
retailer or supplier, or as a built-in unit. The clearances are the same
for either installation method.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Log heaters installed in this firebox
create warm air currents. These currents move heat
to wall surfaces next to firebox. Installing firebox next
to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating firebox
where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kero-
sene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls
or cause odors.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air.
Although this is beneficial, installing firebox in rooms without
enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 5.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the firebox is level. If firebox is not level,
log set will not work properly.
Note:
Your firebox is designed to be used in zero clearance
installations. Wall or framing material can be placed against any
exterior surface on the rear, sides, top or bottom of your firebox,
except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your firebox, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing materials. Use the dimensions
shown for rough opening to create the easiest installation.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easiest
installation (see Built-In Firebox Installation, page 9).
CAUTION: Do not install the firebox directly on
carpet or vinyl.
WARNING: A qualified service person must in-
stall firebox. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the firebox
• in a bedroom or bathroom*
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 42 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the firebox
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
* Unless the installed log set is rated at 10,000 Btu/Hr
or less.
