SAFETY INFORMATION

 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 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 Gas:

 Natural gas is 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.

 WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate, or ser-
vice this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace can
cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explo-
sion, 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. 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.

Fireplace front and screen become very hot when
running fireplace. Keep children and adults away
from hot surfaces to avoid burns or clothing ignition.
Fireplace will remain hot for a time after shutdown.
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 with the fireplace
screen and hood in place. Make sure fireplace screen
and hood are in place before running fireplace.

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