SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS
• NOTE: When burning any unit or appliance that combusts fuel for heat, such as coal, oil, wood or natural
and (L.P.) liquid petroleum gas, we highly recommend use of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
in your home.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu, with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, heater may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once!
HAVE HEATER SERVICED
Some people-pregnant women, persons with heart or lung disease, anemia, those under influence of alcohol
and those at high altitudes-are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
CAUTION: Strong drafts, such as a ceiling fan placed directly in front of heater (pulling from either direction)
may create sooting. Sooting will discolor walls.
1. The installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
2. NOTE: See Section VIII, “Producing Adequate Air For Combustion And Ventilation.”
• Never install this heater:
• In a recreational vehicle, bathroom, bedroom or any other sleeping quarters.
• Where curtains, furniture, clothing or other flammable objects are less than 42” from front of heater
• In high traffic areas or in windy areas
3. Two models are available. One specific model for propane (LP) and one for natural gas. Use the correct
type gas for your home. Do not convert from one gas type to another.
4. If this heater is used with propane gas, do not place propane supply tank(s) inside any structure.
5. What To Do IF You Smell Gas:
• Shut off gas supply.
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire department.
6. When operated for first time, logs may emit a “paper burning” smell. This smell will gradually diminish and
will be totally eliminated after first few hours of operation. Run gas logs with flue damper open during this
time. Do not use blower at this time.
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.
WARNING:
“ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS.”
IMPORTANT: READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING TO
ASSEMBLE, OPERATE, OR SERVICE APPLIANCE. IMPROPER USE OF THESE LOGS CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM BURNS, FIRE, EXPLOSION AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING.
