You must secure the gas log heater to the fireplace floor. If not, the entire unit may move
when you adjust the controls. Movement of unit may cause shifting of the gas logs which
leads to sooting and improper burning. Grate movement could cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fireplace. You must raise
the fireplace floor to allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow
and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible materials, as
described in Placement in a Fireplace with Restrictive Barrier on page 10.
