CAUTION: This replace cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to replace. Installing
replace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such
as, but not limited, to tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing uids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may discolor
walls or cause odors.
Note: Your replace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing ma-
terial can be placed directly against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides or top of your replace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally at-
tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
replace, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings
to create easiest installation. See Built-In
Firebox Installation, page 11.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture
to air. Although this is benecial, installing
replace in rooms without enough ventila-
tion air may cause mildew to form from too
much moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, page 7.
IMPORTANT: Make sure replace is level.
If replace is not level, log set will not work
properly.

LP) for your replace. If your gas supply
is not correct, do not install replace. Call
dealer where you bought replace for proper
type replace.
WARNING: This appliance is
equipped for either natural gas
or propane/LP gas but not both.
Gas type is indicated on the rat-
ing plate. Field conversion is not
