IMPORTANT: Vent-free gas log heaters add
moisturetotheair.Althoughthisisbenecial,
installing rebox in rooms without enough
ventilation air may cause mildew to form from
too much moisture. See Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, page 4.
IMPORTANT:Makesurethereboxislevel.
If rebox is not level, log set will not work
properly.
Note:Yourreboxisdesignedtobeusedin
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed directly against any
exterior surface on the rear, sides or top of
yourrebox,exceptwherestandoffspacers
are integrally attached. If standoff spacers
areattached toyourrebox,thesespacers
can be placed directly against wall or fram-
ing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings
to create the easiest installation (see Built-In
Firebox Installation, page 12).
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
andonewithin12"oftheoor.Connectthese
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3,
Air for Combustion and Ventilationforrequired
size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for
inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermo-
stat-controlled power vent. Heated air entering
the attic will activate the power vent.
