FIREBOX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Any vent-free Gas Log Heater must be “For use with approved
ANSI Z21.11.2 unvented room heater.”
Follow and complete the installation instructions of the gas log set
and the requirements of this firebox.
Check all fittings for leaks before lighting the gas log set.
In planning the installation for the firebox, 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 firebox can be mounted on any of these surfaces:
1. A flat hard combustible or non-combustible surface.
2. A raised platfor m of combustible or non-combustible
material.
3. Recessed into the floor as illustrated by Figure 4
.
4. Supported under all (4) corners of the firebox so that contact
is made on all four perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks).
If the firebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, 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 firebox is to be located. If this
has not been done, stop and consult your dealer for assistance
with
this planning.
Planning Your Installation
Accessory kits such as the FBB5 Blower kit, Trim kits, Mantles,
Full Cabinet Mantels, plus other Decorative Frame, Hood, and
Door accessory kits may be installed after the firebox is secured
to the framed opening.
Refer to the instructions provided with each of the optional
accessory kits for proper installation and operation.

nal electrical source is utilized. This appliance is equipped with
a three-prong [grounding] plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. For an ungrounded receptacle,
an adapter, which has two prongs and a wire for grounding, can
be purchased, plugged into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire
connected to the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire completing the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into
the adapter and be electrically grounded.
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note: Junction box on right side of firebox must be pre-wired at
time of firebox installation for use with blower assembly. A
standard wall ON/OFF wall switch or optional SCV1 Variable Speed Control Kit should be installed to activate power to the Firebox, and control the operation of the FBB5
Blower assembly. It is recommended that installation of the
wiring be performed by a qualified electrician. See Figure
12.
1. If installed, turn OFF gas supply to firebox/gas log.
2. If applicable, turn OFF electric supply to firebox.
CAUTION: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY
