This firebox is designed for vent-free operation. State and local codes in some areas prohibit the use of vent-free

fireplace.

State of Massachusetts: The installation must be made by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Sellers of unvented propane or natural gas-fired supplemental room

fireplaces shall provide to each purchaser a copy of 527 CMR 30 upon sale of the unit.

In the State of Massachusetts, unvented propane or natural gas-fired space fireplaces shall be prohibited in

bedrooms and bathrooms.

In the State of Massachusetts the gas cock must be a T-handle type. The State of Massachusetts

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 6).

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.

UNPACKING

1.Remove the wrapping film around unit.

2.Remove the top packaging and 4 angle beads.

3.Remove protective plastic wrap.

4.Check for any shipping damage. If firebox is damaged, promptly inform your dealer where you bought the firebox.

WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM FIREPLACES

Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room fireplace produces approximately one (1) ounce

(30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (.3 kw) of gas input per hour. An unvented room fireplace is recommended as

a supplemental fireplace (a room) rather than a primary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat

applications, the water vapor does not create a problem. In most applications, the water vapor enhances the low

humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather. The following steps will help insure that water vapor does not

become a problem:

1. Be sure the fireplace is the proper size for the application, including adequate combustion air and circulation air.

2. If there is high humidity, the dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.

3. Do not use an unvented room fireplace as the primary heat source.
