WARNING!!!: This product contains or generates chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth

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 fire, burns, explosions, or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
This fireplace is a vented product and will not produce any gas leakage into your home if properly installed by a qualified
service person. If this unit is not properly installed by a qualified service person, gas leakage may occur. Propane (LP) gas
and natural gas (NG) are both colorless and odorless gases. An odor-making agent is added to each of these gases to help
you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade and gas may be present even though no odor exists.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu symptoms, including headaches,
dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs the fireplace may not have been installed properly, get fresh air at once! Have
the fireplace inspected and serviced by a qualified service person or your gas supplier. Some people are more affected by
carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung diseases or anemia, people at
high altitude or under the influence of alcohol. Earthcore Industries strongly recommends the use of a carbon monoxide
detector/alarm device wherever gas fired appliances are in use.
