PREPARING FIREPLACE
WARNING: IF THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN A FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE, DO
NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT ANY OF THE GRILLES ON THE FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE.
THE GRILLES ALLOW AIR CIRCULATION WHICH PREVENTS THE FACTORY-BUILT
FIREPLACE FROM OVERHEATING. BLOCKING OR RESTRICTING THE AIR CIRCULATION
CAN CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD.
Preparing Fireplace:
1. Carefully check the fireplace to be sure
it is large enough and constructed within
the guidelines given in the "MINIMUM
AND MAXIMUM SIZE OF FIREPLACE"
section of this manual.
2. You must prepare the fireplace by
cutting holes in the fireplace walls and/or
base to run the gas inlet pipe into the heater.
Below are basic guidelines for positioning
the gas inlet pipe into the fireplace opening.
See the following pages for instructions on
connecting the gas inlet pipe to the heater.
3. Once you have prepared the fireplace
for the heater, you will be able to slide the
heater into the fireplace opening and
complete the gas inlet pipe connection
inside the heater. Do not run piping into
the fireplace until the heater is positioned.
WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING IN A SOLID FUEL FIREPLACE, THE CHIMNEY FLUE
AND FIREBOX MUST BE CLEANED OF SOOT, CREOSOTE, ASHES AND LOOSE PAINT BY
A QUALIFIED CHIMNEY CLEANER.
WARNING: DO NOT US A BLOWER INSERT, HEAT EXCHANGER INSERT OR OTHER
ACCESSORIES NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH THIS HEATER.

THIS HEATER IS TO BE INSTALLED ONLY IN A NONCOMBUSTIBLE FIREPLACE SUITABLE
FOR BURNING SOLID FUELS (WOOD OR COAL).
ANY OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS AND/OR ASH DUMPS IN THE FIREPLACE SHALL BE
