INSTALLATION
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install fireplace.
Follow all local codes.
You can recess firebox into the wall. You
can also position fireplace in the optional
cabinet or corner mantels.
IMPORTANT:
Only use optional cabinet or corner mantels
specified in this manual. Purchase the op-
tional mantel from your dealer (see Acces-
sories, pages 26 and 27).
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 fire-
place 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 mois-
ture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing fireplace in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.

mum clearances shown in Fig-
ures 7 and 8. If you can, provide
greater clearances from floor,
ceiling, and joining wall.

ings to create the easiest installation (see
