Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts. You must
provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor. Connect these items directly to the
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation
for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT:
Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet air into
attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air
entering the attic will activate the power vent.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION

CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm air cur-
rents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to fireplace. Installing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating fireplace where impurities
(such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in
the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free fireplaces add moisture to the air. Although
this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms without enough ventila-
tion air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, pages 6 through 8.
Note:
Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clearance
installations. Wall or framing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your fireplace, these spacers can be placed
directly against wall or framing materials.
Note:
When installing fireplace directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the fireplace shall
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the fireplace.
WARNING: A qualified service person must in-
stall fireplace. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the fireplace
• in a bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam-
mable objects are less than 36 inches from the
front, top, or sides of the fireplace
• as a fireplace insert
• in high traffic areas
• in windy or drafty areas
NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemen-
tal heat. Use this heater along with your primary
heating system. Do not install this heater as your
primary heat source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help circulate the heat
throughout the house. In the event of a power outage,
you can use this heater as your primary heat source.
WARNING: Never install the Remote-Ready Mod-
els in this manual in a bedroom. Any heating product
with a Btu/hr rating over 10,000 cannot be used in a
bedroom.
