FLOOR CLEARANCES
In addition to meeting noncombustible material clearances, you must also meet required clearances between
fireplace opening and mantel shelf. A fireplace hood must be used if you do not meet the below clearances.
A. If installing the heater on floor level, you must maintain the minimum distance of 5" to combustibles (see
Fig. 7).
B. If combustible materials are less than 5" to the fireplace, you must install the heater at least 5" above the
combustible flooring (see Fig. 8).

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE: When used as a vented heater, the heater must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning fireplace
with a working flue constructed of noncombustible material. You may use this heater as a vented product.
When used as a vented decorative appliance, use of the thermostat function is prohibited—operate
manually only. There are three reasons for operating your heater as a vented model:
1. The fireplace 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.
