IMPORTANT: Make sure fireplace is level. If fire-
place is not level, log set will not work properly.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed against any exterior
surface on the rear, sides, top or bottom of
your fireplace, except where standoff spacers
are integrally attached. If standoff spacers
are attached to your fireplace, these spacers
can be placed directly against wall or framing
materials.
Use dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Fireplace Installation, page 6).

Mantel Clearances for Built-In Installation
If placing custom mantel above built-in fire-
place, you must meet the minimum allowable
clearance between mantel shelf and top of
fireplace opening shown in Figure 3, page
6. These are the minimum allowable mantel
clearances for a safe installation. Use larger
clearances wherever possible to minimize
the heating of objects and materials placed
on the mantel.
NOTICE: Surface temperatures
of adjacent walls and mantels be-
come hot during operation. Walls
and mantels above the fireplace
may become hot to the touch.
If installed properly, these tem-
peratures meet the requirement
of the national product standard.
Follow all minimum clearances
shown in this manual.
NOTICE: If your installation does
not meet the minimum clearances
shown, you must do one of the
following:
• raise the mantel to an accept-
able height
• remove the mantel
