General
This direct vent heater / fireplace is a clean burning gas appliance for use on board small
vessels. The heater is furnished with a double walled vent pipe and cap. Fresh air is
pulled from outside, through the outer pipe into the combustion chamber. Exhaust gas
leaves the vessel through the inner pipe, while exchanging heat through the wall of the
outer pipe to the cabin. Hence, the heater, when properly used and maintained, does not
use air from the cabin, nor does it exhaust waste gases into the cabin.
Safety Features
Your heater is equipped with a CGA/AGA approved safety gas valve. Should the flame
be extinguished the gas will be shut-off automatically.
Manual ignition involves lighting the heater with the door open and therefore avoids any
initial build up of unburned gas.
The installation of a LPG (propane) detector is recommended for all LPG appliances.
Ignition
This unit is ignited manually. A long BBQ lighter is ideal for lighting this appliance.
Fan Assembly
This fireplace insert is equipped with fan assembly. The fan operates manually and has a
variable control. The fan circulates heated air from the fireplace into the room. Use of the
fan is optional but necessary for best heat transfer.
