CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur
-
faces next to fireplace. Installing
fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such
as, but not limited, to tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.

clearance installations. Wall or framing material
can be placed directly against any exterior surface
on the rear, sides or top of your fireplace, except

create the easiest installation. See Built-In Fire

the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire
