When  used  without  adequate  combustion  and  ventilation  air, 

heater  may  give  off  CARBON  MONOXIDE,  an  odorless, 

poisonous gas.

Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made 

for  combustion  and  ventilation  air.  Consult  the  written 

instructions  provided  with  the  heater  for  information 

concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence 

of instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.

This  heater  is  equipped  with  a  PILOT  LIGHT  SAFETY 

SYSTEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air 

is available.

DO  NOT  TAMPER  WITH  PILOT  LIGHT  SAFETY 

SYSTEM!

If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner and 

control compartment clean.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO 

DEATH.

Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with 

headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, heater 

may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have heater 

serviced.
Some  people  –  pregnant  women,  persons  with  heart  or  lung 

disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, those at high 

altitudes – are more affected by carbon monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen at 

its location. If this heater is installed in a structure having a high 

vertical dimension, the possibility exists that the oxygen supply 

at the higher levels will be less than that at the heater. In this type 

of application, a fan to circulate the structure air will minimize 

this effect. The use of this fan will also improve the comfort level 

in the structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be 

located so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.

•  An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than 

10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or 

bathroom.

•  An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than 

6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bathroom.

•  Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log set is 

installed.

•  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.

•  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high 

surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or 

clothing ignition.

•  Young children should be carefully supervised when they are 

in the same room as the appliance.

•  This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters.
•  Correct installation of ceramic fiber logs, proper location of 

the heater and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential 

problems  with  sooting.  Sooting,  resulting  from  improper 

installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the 

fireplace.

•  Avoid any draft s that could alter burner flame patterns. Do 

not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place 

a blower inside of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that 

alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will 

occur as a result of drafts.

•  The  installation  must  conform  with  local  codes  or,  in  the 

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 

Z223.1 (latest edition) and to the National Electrical Code, 

ANSI/NFPA70 (latest edition).

•  NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified 

service  person. The  appliance  should  be  inspected  before 

use and at least annually by a qualified service person. More 

frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from 

carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that the control 

compartment, burners and circulating air passageways of the 

appliance be kept clean.

•  Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance 

must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Provide 

adequate combustion and ventilation air.

•  The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be 

obstructed.

•  Provide  adequate  clearances  around  air  openings  into  the 

combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for 

servicing  and  proper  operation.  NEVER  obstruct  the  front 

opening of the appliance.

•  A  fireplace  screen  must  be  in  place  when  the  appliance  is 

operating and, unless other provisions for combustion air are 

provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction 

of combustion air.

•  WARNING:  Do  not  allow  fans  to  blow  directly  into  the 

fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.

•  WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert 

or other accessory not approved for use with heater.
