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 writ-

ten 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.

WARNING

•  An  unvented  room  heater  having  an  input    rating  of 

more than 6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a 

bathroom.

•  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.

•  Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located 

out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

•  Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard 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 with the appliance.

•  Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or 

near the appliance. 

•  Installation and repair should be done by a QUALIFIED 

SERVICE PERSON. This appliance should be inspected 

before use and at least annually by a professional service 

person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to 

excessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It 

is imperative that control compartments, burners and 

circulating  air  passageways  of  the  appliance  be  kept 

clean.

•  DO NOT use this fireplace if any part has been under 

water.  Immediately  call  a  qualified  service  technician 

to inspect the fireplace and to replace any part of the 

control system and any gas control which has been under 

water.

•  You must operate fireplace with fireplace screen closed in 

place. Do not close glass doors while operating heater.

•  Do not place trash, logs or other articles on the log set 

during operation.

•  During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various 

components of this appliance are treated with certain 

oils, films or bonding agents. These bonding agents are 

not  harmful  but  may  produce  annoying  smoke  and 

smells as they are burned off during initial operation of 

the appliance. This is a normal temporary occurrence. 

A window should be opened during the initial bake out 

period. 

•  Correct  installation  of  the  ceramic  fiber  logs,  proper 

location of the fireplace 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. See instructions for proper 

installation.

•  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 this 

heater.

•  WARNING! This fireplace needs fresh air for ventilation 

to operate properly. This fireplace has an ODS (oxygen 

depletion  sensor)  which  will  shut  off  the  fireplace  if 

adequate fresh air is not available. 

•  Keep  appliance  area  clear  and  free  from  combustible 

materials,  gasoline  and  other  flammable  vapors  and 

liquids.

THIS IS A HEATING APPLIANCE
