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/NFpA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or ap-

plicable local codes. 

This heater is equipped with a pILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM 

designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh air is avail-

able.

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 dis-

ease, 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

DANGER

: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 

will result in death or serious injury. 

WARNING

: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoid-

ed, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 

could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

: Addresses practices not related to personal injury.

• 

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.
