Safety Continued Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Never place any objects in the firebox or on logs. Firebox front and screen become very hot when running heater. Keep children and adults away from hot surface to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Firebox will remain hot for a time after shutdown. Allow surface to cool before touching. Carefully supervise young children when they are in the room with firebox.
PAGE 4
Locating Firebox Planning Plan where you will install the firebox. This will save time and money later when you install the firebox. Before installation, consider the following: 1. Where the firebox will be located. Allow for wall and ceiling clearances (see Installation Clearances, page 8). 2. Everything needed to complete installation. 3. These models CANNOT be installed in a bedroom unless the maximum Btu rating of the installed vent-free log set is less than 10,000 Btu/hr. 4.
PAGE 5
Air For Combustion and Ventilation WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes. Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home. Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever.
PAGE 6
Air For Combustion and Ventilation Continued DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space. Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms. 1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height). Length x Width x Height =_______cu. ft.
PAGE 7
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION Continued VENTILATION AIR Ventilation Air From Inside Building This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space, you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 3). Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.
PAGE 8
INSTALLATION Continued 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, page 5. IMPORTANT: Make sure 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.
PAGE 9
INSTALLATION Continued Built-In Firebox Installation Built-in installation of this firebox involves installing firebox into a framed-in enclosure. This makes the front of firebox flush with wall. Optional brass trim accessories are available (see Accessories, page 14). The brass trim will extend past sides of firebox approximately 1/2". This will cover the rough edges of the wall opening. If installing a mantel above the firebox, you must follow the clearances shown in Figure 5.
PAGE 10
INSTALLATION Continued WARNING: Do not allow any combustible materials to overlap the firebox front facing. IMPORTANT: Noncombustible materials such as brick, tile, etc. may overlap the front facing, but should never cover any necessary openings like louvered slots. WARNING: Do not allow noncombustible materials to cover any necessary openings like louvered slots. WARNING: Use only noncombustible mortar or adhesives when overlapping the front facing with noncombustible facing material.
PAGE 11
INSTALLATION Continued Using optional fiber panels INSTALLING FIREPLACE HOOD There is a gas knockout in each side panel for the gas line to feed through. Determine on which side the gas connection will be located. Using a utility knife or cutting blade, remove the identified gas knockout. Attach hood to firebox using screws provided (see Figure 10). Hood CAUTION: Do not use excessive force to remove the knockout. Too much force may damage the fiber panel.
