INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Vent-free replaces add mois-
ture to the air. Although this is benecial,
installing replace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 6.
Note: Your VANTAGE HEARTH replace is
designed to be used in zero clearance instal-
lations. Wall or framing material can be placed
directly against any exterior surface of your
replace, except where standoff spacers are
integrally attached. If standoff spacers are
attached to your fireplace, these spacers
can be placed directly against wall or fram-
ing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Fireplace Installation, page 10).

propane/LP). If your gas supply is not the
correct gas type, do not install heater. Call
dealer where you bought heater for proper
type heater.
