 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  fireplace  may  not  be 

working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have 

fireplace serviced. Some people are more af

-

fected by carbon monoxide than others. These 

include pregnant women, people with heart or 
lung disease or anemia, those under the influ

-

ence 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 fireplace.

  WARNING:  Any  change  to 

this fireplace or its controls can 

be dangerous.

 WARNING: Do not use a blow

-

er insert, heat exchanger insert or 

other accessory not approved for 

use with this fireplace.

 WARNING: Do not allow fans 

to blow directly into the fireplace. 

Avoid any drafts that alter burner 

flame patterns. Ceiling fans can 

create  drafts  that  alter  burner 

flame  patterns.  Altered  burner 

patterns can cause sooting.

Due  to  high  temperatures,  the 

appliance should be located out 

of traffic and away from furniture 

and draperies.
