If left unsealed, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat resistant sealant. Do not seal the chimney flue damper. Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. You must secure the gas log heater to the fireplace floor. If not, the entire unit may move when you adjust the controls.

Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fireplace. You must raise the fireplace floor to allow access to gas log controls. This will insure adequate air flow and guard against sooting. Raise the fireplace floor using noncombustible materials.
