INSTALLATION SAFETY INFORMATION

INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES

A. Carefully inspect the burner and log cartons for shipping damage. If any parts are missing/damaged,

call your dealer. Do not attempt to install the appliance unless all parts are in good condition.

B. Correct installation of the glass or the ceramic refractory log set and proper placement and

installation of the burner assembly, including ember placement and Lava Granule placement,

are imperative to safe operation of your set. Problems WILL occur if all items are not properly

installed. Reference the INSTALLATION section, LOG PLACEMENT.

C. When installing in a wood-burning ﬁ replace, center the appliance in the ﬁ replace while making

certain that no part of the assembly protrudes (forward) beyond the face of the ﬁ replace.

DO NOT PUSH THE UNIT ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK.

D. If you use Lava Granules, or glass or gems, for decorative use, do not allow these accessories

into or onto any part of the burner or on the logs. Lava Granules, or glass or gems used to

accessorize the vent-free burner, should only be placed on the ﬂ oor of the ﬁ replace, in front of

and to the sides of the burner, but away from the controls.

E. DO NOT PLACE logs or other accessories, such as wood chips, pine cones, or vermiculite, on

this appliance. These items will cause improper burning, sooting, and/or high levels of carbon

monoxide. Additional logs and/or accessories may be placed around the burner system, as long

as they do not interfere with the burning of your gas appliance.

F. Due to high temperatures, this appliance should be located out of trafﬁ c and away from

furniture/draperies.

G. A ﬁ replace screen must be in place when this gas appliance is in operation. Unless other

provisions for combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction

of combustion air.

H. Connecting directly to an unregulated L.P. tank can cause an explosion.

I. Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a SUNKEN FIREPLACE. You must raise

the ﬁ replace ﬂ oor to allow access to gas controls. This will ensure adequate airﬂ ow and guard

against sooting. Raise the ﬁ replace ﬂ oor using noncombustible materials.

J. A vent-free room heater having an input rating of more than 10,000 BTU per hour shall not be

installed in a bedroom (ANSI Z21.11.2).

If local codes allow, you may install a G8-xxR burner, having a rating of 9,500 BTU, in a bedroom.

An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than 6,000 BTU per hour shall not be

installed in a bathroom (ANSI Z21.11.2).
