Determining Minimum Mantel Clearance When Using a
Hood
If minimum clearances in Figure 4, are not met, you must have
a hood. When using a hood there are still certain minimum
mantel clearances required. Follow minimum clearances
shown in Figure 5, when using hood.
INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR
VENTED OPERATION
Note: When used as a vented indoor appliance, appliance
must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning replace with a
working ue and constructed of noncombustible material.
For Massachusetts Residents Only: Installation of this gas
log set as a vented indoor appliance in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts requires the damper be permanently removed
or welded in the fully open position.
You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see
Accessories, page 21). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 8). The damper clamp will keep damper open. Instal-
lation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent ue opening you
must provide. Attach damper clamp so the minimum perma-
nent ue opening will be maintained at all times.
FLOOR CLEARANCES
A. If installing appliance on the oor level, you must maintain
the minimum distance of 14" to combustibles (see Figure
6).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14" to the replace,
you must install appliance at least 5" above the combustible
ooring (see Figure 7).
