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 run-
ning 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 children when they are in
the room with heater. 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 heater with a fireplace screen
in place. Make sure fireplace screen is closed before
running heater.

 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 heater.

SAFETY INFORMATION

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

 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 may not have been installed
properly.  Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace inspected and
serviced by a qualified service person. 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.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making
agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps you detect a gas
leak. However, the odor added to these gases 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 heater.
