INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE: When used as a vented heater, appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning replace with a working ue constructed of noncombustible material. You may
use this heater as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your heater as
a vented model:
1.
The replace does not meet the clearance requirements for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney ue
damper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (not provided). This will ensure
vented operation (see Figure 9). The damper clamp will keep damper open. Installation
instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for the minimum permanent ue opening you must provide. Attach
damper clamp so the minimum permanent opening will be maintained at all times.

INSTALLING HEATER BASE ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: Do not remove the metal data plates attached to the heater base assembly.
The data plates contain important warranty information.
WARNING: You must secure this heater to replace oor. If not, heater will move when
you adjust controls. Moving heater may cause a gas leak.
WARNING: If installing in sunken replace, special care is needed. You must raise the
replace oor to allow access to heater control panel. This will insure adequate air ow
and guard against sooting. Raise replace oor with noncombustible material.
CAUTION: Do not pick up heater base assembly by the burner. This could damage
heater. Handle base assembly only by grates.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the heater burners are level. If heater is not level, heater will
not work properly. Avoid damage to thermostat bulb. Avoid nicks or sharp bends in ther-
mostat bulb wire. Keep thermostat bulb in mounting bracket.
