To prevent performance problems, the use of a propane/LP
tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity is not recommended.

5.

This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom
unless installed as a vented appliance (see Installing Damper
Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation
, page 10).

6.

Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney
flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and
loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ig-
nite if highly heated.  Inspect chimney flue for damage. If dam-
aged, operate heater with flue damper closed.

7.

If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this heater with glass
doors closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat
buildup inside fireplace will cause glass to burst. Also if fire-
place opening has vents at the bottom, you must open the vents
before operating heater.

8.

This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear
to smoke, turn off heater and call a qualified service person.

Note:

 During initial operation, slight smoking could occur due

to log curing and heater burning manufacturing residues.

9.

To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instructions in Clean-
ing and Maintenance,
 page 17.

10. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar

products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod-
ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or
on adjacent walls or furniture.

11. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly.

This heater has an oxygen depletion sensing (ODS) pilot light
safety system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough
fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
pages 4 through 6. If heater keeps shutting off, see Trouble-
shooting
, pages 18 through 20.

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

12. Do not run heater

• where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored
• under dusty conditions

13. Do not use this heater to cook food or burn paper or other

objects.

14. Do not use heater if any part has been exposed to or under

water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to in-
spect the room heater and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

15. Do not operate heater if any log is broken. Do not operate

heater if a log is chipped (dime-sized or larger).

16. Turn heater off and let cool before servicing, installing, or re-

pairing. Make sure the selector switch is in the OFF position.
Only a qualified service person should install, service, or re-
pair heater.

17. Make sure the selector switch is in the OFF position when you

are away from home for long periods of time.

18. This heater must not be connected to any external electrical source.

19. Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause

pilot outage.

20. Provide adequate clearances around air openings.
