SAFETY

1.  Do not place propane supply tank(s) in-

side any structure. Propane supply tank(s) 

must be placed outdoors.

2.  This heater should not be installed in a 

bedroom or bathroom unless installed as 

a vented appliance.

3.  This heater needs fresh air ventilation to 

run properly. This heater has an Oxygen 

Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff 

system. The ODS shuts down the heater 

if not enough fresh air is available. See 

Air for Combustion and Ventilation

, pages 

6 and 7. If heater keeps shutting off, see 

Troubleshooting

, page 21.

4.  Do not add extra logs or ornaments such 

as pine cones, vermiculite, or rock wool. 

Using these added items can cause soot-

ing. Do not add lava rock around base. 

Rock and debris could fall into the control 

area  of  heater. After  servicing,  always 

replace screen before operating heater.

5.  If fireplace has glass doors, never operate 

this heater with glass doors closed. If you 

operate heater with doors closed, heat will 

build-up inside fireplace and cause glass 

to  burst.  If  fireplace  opening  has  vents 

at the bottom, you must open the vents 

before operating log set. Always operate 

heater with glass doors fully open.

6.  This log heater is designed to be smokeless. 

If logs ever appear to be smoking, turn off 

heater and call a qualified service techni-

cian. 

NOTE: During initial operating, slight 

smoking could occur due to log curing and 

heater burning off manufacturing residues.

7.  To prevent the creation of soot, follow the 

instructions under 

Care and Maintenance 

page 20.

8.  Do not run heater:

• Where flammable liquids or vapors are 

used or stored.

• Under dusty conditions.

9.  Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet 

cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. 

If heated, the vapors from these products 

may create a white powder residue within 

burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

10. Do not use heater if any part has been 

under water. Immediately call a qualified 

service  technician  to  inspect  the  room 

heater  and  to  replace  any  part  of  the 

control system and any gas control which 

has been under water.
