Note: When used as a vented heater, ap-
pliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace with a working flue and
constructed of noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only: Instal-
lation of this vented gas log set in the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts requires the
damper be permanently removed or welded
in the fully open position.
If your heater is a manually-controlled model,
you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your
heater in the vented mode.
1. The replace does not meet the clearance
to combustibles requirements for vent-free
operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 apply to you,
you must permanently open chimney ue
damper. You must install the damper clamp
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page
31). This will insure vented operation (see Fig-
ure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper
open. Installation instructions are included
with clamp accessory.
See chart for minimum permanent ue open-
ing you must provide. Attach damper clamp so
the minimum permanent ue opening will be
maintained at all times.
