SAFETY INFORMATION

 WARNINGS

 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 insert may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace insert 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 fireplace insert.

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

 WARNING: Any change to this heater or its con-

trols can be dangerous.

 WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into

the fireplace insert. 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, fireplace hood, 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.

Fireplace insert front and screen becomes very hot
when running fireplace insert. Keep children and adults
away from hot surfaces to avoid burns or clothing
ignition. Fireplace insert will remain hot for a time after
shut-down. Allow surfaces to cool before touching.

Carefully supervise young children when they are in the
room with fireplace. When using the hand-held remote
accessory, keep selector switch in the OFF position to
prevent children from turning on burners with remote.

You must operate this fireplace insert with the fire-
place insert screen and hood in place. Make sure
fireplace insert screen and hood are in place before
running fireplace insert.

 WARNING: Any outside air ducts and/or ash

dumps in the fireplace must be permanently closed
before installing fireplace insert.

 WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burn-

ing fireplace, the chimney flue and fireplace must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.
