IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
INSTALLER: PLEASE LEAVE THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS WITH THE OWNER.
OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
If the information in this
manual is not follwed
exactly, afireorexplosion
may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
IMPORTANT
Before starting your firebox instal-
lation, read these installation
instructions carefully to be sure you
understand them completely and
in entirety. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause a heater
malfunction resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage.
IMPORTANT
The fireplace screens on the appli-
ance must be closed prior to operat-
ing the fireplace.
WARNING
These built-in vent-free fireboxes
have only been tested andapproved
for use with ANSI Z21.11.2 Vent-
free gas logs.
WARNING
Any change to this Vent-Free room
heater can be dangerous. Improper
installation or use of this heater can
cause serious injury or death from
fire, burns, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Do not attempt to burn solid wood
fuels, other gas log sets or any
other combustible materials in this
vent-free firebox.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early
signs of carbonmonoxide poisoning
are similar to the flu with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, obtain fresh
air immediately. Have the Vent-Free
Gas Heater serviced as it may not
be operating correctly.
WARNINGS
• Due to high temperatures, the
firebox should be located out of
traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Do not place clothing or other
flammable material on or near
the heater.
• Any safety screen or guard re-
moved for servicing the firebox
must be replaced and/or closed
prior to operating the heater.
• Installation and repair should
be done by a qualified service
person. The heater should be
inspected before use and at
least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due
to excessive lint from carpet-
ing, bedding material, etc. It is
important that control compart-
ments, burners and circulating
air passageways of the heater
be kept clean.
• Allowtheheatertocoolbefore
servicing. Always shut off any
electricity or gas to the heater
while performing service work.
• Do not install the rebox in a
sleeping room or bathroom.
• Theapplianceanditsindividual
shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from thegas supplypiping
system while performing any
tests of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig.
WARNING
• Theheatermustbeisolatedfrom
the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pres-
sure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
• Keepheaterareaclearandfree
from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Do not use this heater if any
part has been under water. Im-
mediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater
andto replaceany part ofthe con-
trol system and any gas control
which has been under water.
• Ensurethattheheaterisclean
when operating. Excessive dust
accumulation on the burner and
logs will increase the amount of
carbon monoxide formation and
could lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning and death.
WARNING
Do not install in the vicinity where
gasoline or other flammable liquids
may be stored. The Vent-Free fire-
box must be keptclear and freefrom
these combustible materials.
WARNING
Maintain minimum clearances.
WARNING
Do not allow fans to blow directly
into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts
that alter burner flame patterns.

must be measured from the drywall surface.
It is important that this dimension be exact.

CAUTION
Do not block the heat-circulating
air inlets and outlets on these
fireboxes. Doing so may create a
potential fire hazard.
IMPORTANT
Under no circumstances shall the
firebox top spacers be removed or
modified(see Figure5). The header
may be in direct contact with the top
spacers but must not be supported
by them, notched or altered to fit
around them.
