ARNING
The fireplace and gas logs function as a
system. If the fireplace is spilling into the
room (check with a match or a smoke stick),
reposition the damper clamp until a positive
draft is obtained by opening the damper. If
negative pressure in home prevents having
a positive draft, contact your dealer for
assistance.
PLACE AND SECURE APPLIANCE
You must secure the gas log heater to
the fireplace floor. If not, the entire unit
may move when you adjust the controls.
Movement of unit may cause shifting of
the gas logs which leads to sooting and
improper burning. Grate movement could
cause a gas leak.
Special care is required if you are installing
the unit into a sunken fireplace. You must
raise the fireplace floor to allow access to
gas log controls. This will insure adequate
air flow and guard against sooting. Raise
the fireplace floor using noncombustible
materials, as described in

Fireplace with Restrictive Barrier
