IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is benecial,
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 the rebox is level. If
rebox is not level, log set will not work properly.
Note: Your Vanguard rebox is designed to be
used in zero clearance installations. Wall or fram-
ing material can be placed against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides or top of your rebox,
except where standoff spacers are integrally at-
tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
firebox, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Firebox
Installation, page 9).
