MANTEL CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible mate-
rial clearances, you must also meet required
clearances between replace openings and
mantel shelf on each side of the replace. If
you do not meet the clearances listed below,
you will need a hood.
If you meet minimum clearance between man-
tel shelf and top of replace opening, a hood
is not required (see Figure 6, page 11).
If minimum clearances in Figure 6 are not
met, you must have a hood. When using a
hood there are still certain minimum mantel
clearances required. Follow minimum clear-
ances shown in Figure 7, page 11, when
using hood.

you must maintain the minimum distance

OPERATION
Note: When used as a vented heater, ap-
pliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning replace with a working ue and con-
structed 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 above apply to you,
you must permanently open chimney ue
damper. You must install the damper clamp
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page
29). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 10, page 13). The damper clamp will
keep damper open. Installation instructions
are included with clamp accessory.
