 WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burning 

fi replace, the chimney fl ue and fi rebox must be cleaned 
of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualifi ed 
chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. 
A dirty chimney fl ue may create and distribute soot 
within the house. Inspect chimney fl ue for damage. If 
damaged, repair fl ue before operating heater.

NOTICE: Installation, service, and repair of this appli-
ance must be performed by a qualifi ed installer, service

components listed in these instructions may be used 
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions 
and all codes and requirements of the authority hav-
ing jurisdiction. Any modifi cations to this kit, or use
