Continued
WARNING: Any change to this heater or its con-
trols can be dangerous.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead
to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs, the heater
may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have
heater serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under
the influence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP Gas:
Natural and propane/LP
gases are odorless. An odor-making agent is added to
the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However,
the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present
even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all warnings.
Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe
and proper operation of this heater.
Heater base assembly becomes very hot when run-
ning heater. Keep children and adults away from hot
surface to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Heater
will remain hot for a time after shutdown. Allow
surface to cool before touching.
Carefully supervise young children when they are
in the room with heater. When using the hand-held
remote accessory, keep selector switch in the OFF
position to prevent children from turning on burners
with remote.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
Do not place clothing or other flammable material
on or near the appliance. Never place any objects
on the heater.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
You must operate this heater with a fireplace screen
in place. Make sure fireplace screen is closed before
running heater.

Locate propane/LP supply tank(s) outdoors (propane/LP units
only).
3. To prevent performance problems, the use of a propane/LP fuel
tank of less than 100 lb. capacity is not recommended (propane/
LP units only).

5. This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom un-
less installed as a vented appliance (see

Accessory for Vented Operation,
page 10
).
6. 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. Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If damaged, repair
flue and firebox before operating heater.
7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127 factory-built fire-
place in which a vent-free room heater is installed.
8. If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this heater with glass
doors closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat buildup
inside fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure there are no
obstructions across openings of fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear
to smoke, turn off heater and call a qualified service person.
NOTE
: During initial operation, slight smoking may occur due to
log curing and heater burning manufacturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instructions in
Cleaning
and Maintenance,
page 18
.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or similar products,
turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these products may create
a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or
furniture.
12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly.
This heater has an Oxygen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff
system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air
is available. See
Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
page 5
. If
heater keeps shutting off, see
Troubleshooting
,
pages 20-21

• where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• under dusty conditions
