IMPORTANT: Vent-free replaces add moisture
to the air. Although this is benecial, installing re-
place in rooms without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 6.
Note: Your Vanguard replace is designed to
be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or
framing material can be placed directly against
any exterior surface of your fireplace, except
where standoff spacers are integrally attached.
If standoff spacers are attached to your replace,
these spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire-
place Installation, page 10).

Use only the correct type of gas (natural or pro-
pane/LP). If your gas supply is not the correct gas
type, do not install heater. Call dealer where you
bought heater for proper type heater.

by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve *
