Figure 5 - Ventilation Air from Outdoors

ventilation Air From Outdoors

Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation

grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-

nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling

and one within 12" of the floor. Connect these

items directly to the outdoors or spaces open

to the outdoors. These spaces include attics

and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for

Combustion and Ventilation for required size

of ventilation grills or ducts.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for

inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermo-

stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering

the attic will activate the power vent.

WARNING: A qualified ser-

vice person must install firebox.

Follow all local codes.

WARNING: Never install

firebox

• in a bedroom or bathroom*

• in a recreational vehicle

• where curtains, furniture,

clothing, or other flammable

objects are less than 36" from

front or 42" from top of fire-

box. For side clearances see

Figure 6, page 11

• in high traffic areas

• in windy or drafty areas

* Unless installed log set is rated

at 10,000 Btu/hr or less.

CAUTION: Log heaters

installed in this firebox create

warm air currents. These currents

move heat to wall surfaces next

to firebox. Installing firebox next

to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or

operating firebox where impuri-

ties (such as, but not limited to, to-

bacco smoke, aromatic candles,

cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene

lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may

discolor walls or cause odors.

INsTAllATIoN

NOTICE: The firebox identifica-

tion label (including model num-

ber, serial number, clearances,

etc.) is located on a chain under

the bottom refractory.

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, page 8.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the firebox is level.

If firebox is not level, log set will not work

properly.
Note: Your firebox is designed to be used in

zero clearance installations. Wall or framing

material can be placed against any exterior

surface on the rear, sides, top or bottom of

your firebox, except where standoff spacers

are integrally attached. If standoff spacers are

attached to your firebox, these spacers can

be placed directly against wall or framing ma-

terials. Use the dimensions shown for rough

opening to create the easiest installation.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings

to create the easiest installation (see Built-In

Firebox Installation, page 12).
