 WARNING: This product con-

tains and/or generates chemicals 

known to the state of California 

to cause cancer or birth defects

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s 

manual carefully and completely 

before  trying  to  assemble,  op-

erate  or  service  this  fireplace. 

Improper  use  of  this  fireplace

 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 af

-

fected by carbon monoxide than others. These 

include pregnant women, people with heart or 
lung disease or anemia, those under the influ

-

ence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.
Natural and Propane/LP gases are odorless. 
An odor-making agent is added to these gases. 

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.

this  heater  or  its  controls  can 

be dangerous.

  WARNING:  Do  not  use  a 

blower  insert,  heat  exchanger 

insert or other accessory not ap-

proved for use with this heater. 

SAFETy INFORMATION

Continued

 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.

Heater base assembly 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 chil-

dren when they are in the room 

with  heater.  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  heater 

with  the  fireplace  screen  and 

hood  in  place.  Make  sure  fire-

place  screen  and  hood  are  in 

place before running heater.

Keep  the  appliance  area  clear 

and free from combustible ma-

terials, gasoline and other flam-

mable vapors and liquids.
