IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is benecial,
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 rebox is level. If re-
box is not level, log set will not work properly.
Note: Your rebox 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 rebox, except where
standoff spacers are integrally attached. If standoff
spacers are attached to your rebox, these spac-
ers 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
