SAFETY INFORMATION

 WARNINGS

 WARNING: This product contains and/or generates

chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

 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.

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate, or ser-
vice this heater. Improper use of this heater can cause
serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosion,
electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

 WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls

can be dangerous.

 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.

 WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat

exchanger insert, or other accessory not approved
for use with this fireplace.

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.

Stove becomes very hot when running 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 stove. When using the optional hand-
held remote accessory, keep selector switch in the
OFF position to prevent children from turning on
burners with remote.

Keep the appliance area clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
