IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Congratulations!
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of an Ashley stove.
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings carefully before starting installation. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in a possible
fi
re hazard and will void the warranty.
WARNING
• Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.
• Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death
from
fi
re, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the stove. Avoid any drafts that alter burner
fl
ame patterns.
• Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory,
not approved for use with this heater where applicable.
1. Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traf
fi
c and away from furniture and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away to
avoid burns or clothing ignition.
3. Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the appliance.
4. Do not place clothing or other
fl
ammable material on or near the appliance.
5. Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
6. Installation and repair should be done by a quali
fi
ed service person.
7. To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater should be cleaned before use and at least
annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways be kept clean.
8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING:
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the
fl
u with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater serviced as it
may not be operating properly.
9. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas
Code,
ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.
10. This unit complies with the latest edition of ANSI Z21.11.2, Unvented Heaters.
11. Do not install heater in a bathroom or bedroom unless approved for bedroom use.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic
fi
ber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning are necessary
to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle
on surfaces outside the
fi
replace. See log placement instructions for proper installation.
IMPORTANT: VENT-FREE HEATERS ADD MOISTURE TO AIR. ALTHOUGH THIS IS BENEFICIAL,
INSTALLING HEATER IN ROOMS WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION MAY CAUSE MILDEW TO
FORM FROM TOO MUCH MOISTURE.
