SAFETY INFORMATION

 WARNING: This product con-

tains and/or generates chemicals 

known to the State of California 

to cause cancer or birth defects 

or other reproductive harm.

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s 

manual carefully and completely 

before  trying  to  assemble,  op-

erate  or  service  this  fireplace. 

Improper  use  of  this  fireplace 

can  cause  serious  injury  or 

death  from  burns,  fire,  explo-

sion, electrical shock and carbon 

monoxide poisoning.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide 

poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early signs of carbon 

monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with head-

aches, 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  and  Propane/LP  Gas: 

Natural and pro-

pane/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.

Do not place clothing or other 

flammable  material  on  or  near 

the appliance. Never place any 

objects on the heater.

Fireplace  front  and  screen  be-

come  very  hot  when  running 

heater. Keep children and adults 

away from hot surfaces to avoid 

burns or clothing ignition. Fire-

place will remain hot for a time 

after shutdown. Allow surfaces 

to cool before touching.

Carefully  supervise  young  chil-

dren when they are in the room 

with  fireplace.  When  using  the 

hand-held  remote  accessory 

(Remote-Ready  Models  Only), 

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 in place. 

Make  sure  fireplace  screen  is 

closed before running fireplace.

Keep  the  appliance  area  clear 

and free from combustible ma-

terials, gasoline and other flam-

mable vapors and liquids.
