Follow and complete the installation instructions of the gas log set

andtherequirementsofthisrebox.

Checkallttingsforleaksbeforelightingthegaslogset.

Inplanningtheinstallationfortherebox,itisnecessarytodetermine

where the unit is to be installed and whether optional accessories

are desired. Gas supply piping should also be planned at this time.

A Gas Shut-Off Must Be In This Line.

Thereboxcanbemountedonanyofthesesurfaces:

1. Aathardcombustibleornon-combustiblesurface.

2. A raised platform of combustible or non-combustible material.

4. Supportedunderallfourcornersofthereboxsothatcontact

is made on all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit

(Example: Four concrete masonry blocks).

Ifthereboxisinstalleddirectlyoncarpeting,tileorothercombustible

materialotherthanwoodooring,itshouldbeinstalledonametal

or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the unit.

At this point, you should have decided what components to include

inyourinstallation,andwherethereboxistobelocated.Ifthis

has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance

with this planning.
