NOTICE: This heater is intended
for use as supplemental heat.
Use this heater along with your
primary heating system. Do not

mary heat source. If you have a
central heating system, you may
run system’s circulating blower
while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the
house. In the event of a power

as your primary heat source.
WARNING: A qualified ser-
vice person must install fire-
place. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the

• in a bedroom or bathroom
• in a recreational vehicle
• where curtains, furniture,
clothing, or other flammable
objects are less than 36 inches

bedroom or bathroom. Any heat-
ing product with a Btu/Hr rating
over 10,000 cannot be used in a
bedroom.
CAUTION: This fireplace cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to fireplace. Install-
ing fireplace next to vinyl or cloth
wall coverings or operating fire-
place where impurities (such as,
but not limited to, tobacco
smoke, aromatic candles, clean-
ing fluids, oil or kerosene lamps,
etc.) in the air exist, may dis-
color walls or cause odors.
IMPORTANT:
Vent-free fireplaces add moisture
to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing
fireplace in rooms without enough ventilation air
may cause mildew to form from too much mois-
ture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages
6 through 8.
Note:
Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero
clearance installations. Wall or framing material
can be placed directly against any exterior surface
on the rear, sides, or top of your fireplace, except
where standoff spacers are integrally attached. If
standoff spacers are attached to your fireplace,
these spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Note:
When installing fireplace directly on car-
peting, tile or other combustible material, other
than wood flooring, the fireplace shall be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the fireplace.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to
create the easiest installation (see Built-In Fire-
place Installation, page 11).
CHECK GAS TYPE
