additional  information  consult 

a  qualified  installer,  service

  WARNING:  This  appliance 

is  for  installation  only  in  a 

solid-fuel  burning  masonry  or 

UL127  factory-built  fireplace, 

constructed of noncombustible 

material,  and  connected  to  a

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s 

manual carefully and completely

-

erate,  or  service  this  log  set. 

Improper use of this log set can 

cause  serious  injury  or  death 

from  burns,  fire,  explosion, 

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 headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If 
you  have  these  signs,  the  log  set  may  not 
be working properly. 

Get fresh air at once!

 

Have  log  set  serviced.  Some  people  are 

more affected by carbon monoxide than oth-

ers. 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 log set.

  WARNING:  Any  change  to 

this log set or its controls can 

be dangerous.

1.  This  appliance,  as  supplied,  is  only  for 

use with the type of gas indicated on the 
rating plate. This appliance is convertible 
for use with propane/LP.
