CAUTION: Do not remove the data plates attached
to the heater base assembly. The data plates contain
important warranty and safety information.
WARNING: You must secure this heater to fire-
place floor. If not, heater will move when you adjust
controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak or
log misplacement.
CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly
by the burner. This could damage heater. Only handle
base assembly by grates.
IMPORTANT
:
Make sure the heater burners are level. If heater is
not level, heater will not work properly. For thermostat models,
avoid damage to thermostat bulb. Avoid nicks or sharp bends in
thermostat bulb wire. Keep thermostat bulb in mounting bracket

ensure adequate air flow and guard against sooting
and controls being damaged. Raise fireplace floor

is secure.
