Figure 5 - Installing Hood to Firebox
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing ma-
terial can be placed directly against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides or top of your fireplace,
except where standoff spacers are integrally at-
tached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly
against wall or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation. See Built-In
Fireplace Installation, page 12.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture
to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing
fireplace in rooms without enough ventilation
air may cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, page 6.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level.
If fireplace is not level, log set will not work
properly.

LP) for your fireplace. If your gas supply is not
