WARNING
Never install the firebox
• in a bedroom or bathroom

objects are less than 36 inches from the front, top, or sides
of the firebox
• in high traffic areas

CAUTION
Log heaters installed in this firebox create warm air currents.
These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to firebox. Install-
ing firebox next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating
firebox where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke) exist,
may discolor walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing firebox in rooms without enough ventilation air may cause
mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 6 through 9.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the firebox is level. If firebox is not level, log set will not
work properly.
