PLACEMENT IN A FIREPLACE WITH A RESTRICTIVE BARRIER 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THIS GAS LOG SET
The following are guidelines for placing a gas log set in a fireplace that has a restrictive barrier along the bottom front open-
ing of the fireplace. Some examples of barriers are glass/screen door frames and sunken/recessed fireplaces.
Glass door frames 
with adjustable 
louvers should have 
the louvers fully 
open while the unit is 
in operation. 
Height of restrictive barrier 
caused by glass door frames, 
recessed fi replaces, etc. from 
the base or bottom surface of the 
unit. (Refer to Table).
The log set should be 
placed against or as near 
as possible to the rear wall 
of the fi replace/fi rebox. 
Depth of fi replace/fi rebox. 
(Refer toTable).

NOTE: Non combustible material such as refractory brick may be used to line the fl oor of the fi replace 
in order to raise the height of the gas log set in relation to a restrictive barrier. If the unit is raised, the 
minimum height dimension listed in the homeowner’s manual must not be exceeded.
NOTE: If the log set is equipped with a remote receiver, a restrictive barrier may reduce the battery life 
by increasing the ambient temperature inside the fi replace. Placement of the receiver outside of the 
fi replace will extend the battery life. 
X
Barriers such as the bottom of a glass door frame placed in front of a gas log set can 
change the air fl ow characteristics of the fi replace which in turn can cause the unit to 
overheat and malfunction.
