INSTALLING HEATER BASE ASSEMBLY
WARNING
You must secure this heater to fireplace floor. If not, heater will move when you adjust
controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.
WARNING
If installing in a sunken fireplace, special care is needed. You must raise the fireplace floor
to allow access to heater control panel. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against
sooting. Raise fireplace floor with non-combustible material. Make sure material is secure.
CAUTION
Do not pick up heater base assembly by burners. 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.
