Use this heater along with your

primary heating system. Do not

mary heat source. If you have a

the front, top or sides of the

fireplace

• as a fireplace insert

• in high traffic areas

CAUTION: This fireplace cre-

ates warm air currents. These

currents move heat to wall sur-

faces next to fireplace. Installing

fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall

coverings or operating fireplace

where impurities (such as, but

not limited to, tobacco smoke,

aromatic candles, cleaning flu-

ids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)

in the air exist, may discolor walls

or cause odors.

IMPORTANT:

Vent-free fireplaces add moisture

to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing fire-

place in rooms without enough ventilation air may

cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See

Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6.
Note:

Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero

clearance installations. Wall or framing material

can be placed directly against any exterior surface

on the rear, sides or top of your fireplace, except

where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If

standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace,

these spacers can be placed directly against wall

or framing materials.
Note:

When installing fireplace directly on carpet-

ing, tile or other combustible material, other than

wood flooring, the fireplace shall be installed on a

metal or wood panel extending the full width and

depth of the fireplace.

Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to

create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire-

place Installation, page 10).
