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 G8E-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).
Fireplace Floor Requirement
