Example
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not
install this heater as your pri-
mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power
outage, you can use this heater
as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install firebox.
Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the
firebox
• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing or other flammable
objects are less than 42 inches
from the front, top or sides of
the firebox
• in high traffic areas
IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial,
installing firebox in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, page 4.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the firebox is level.
If firebox is not level, log set will not work
properly.
Note: Your Comfort Glow firebox is designed to
be used in zero clearance installations. Wall or
framing material can be placed directly against any
exterior surface on the rear, sides or top of your
firebox, except where standoff spacers are inte-
grally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to
your firebox, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
