• Never obstruct the front opening of the insert.
• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other
ammable liquids may be stored.
• These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 (current
edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code (current edition), and Local Building Codes for specic installation
requirements.
IMPORTANT: Your direct vent insert was designed to
be installed in an existing wood burning replace. The
location and clearances are subject to local building
codes.
INSERT APPLICATIONS
Before installing the gas replace insert, consider the

only vented vertically with a minimum height of 10 feet.
When the unit is installed into a wood burning replace,
the minimum distance the mantel can be placed above the
replace is governed by local building codes applicable to
