WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
appliance may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,
poisonous gas.
Do not install appliance until all necessary provisions
are made for combustion and ventilation air. Consult
the written instructions provided with the appliance 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 applicable local codes.
This appliance is equipped with a
PILOT LIGHT SAFETY
SYSTEM designed to turn off the appliance if not enough
fresh air is available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYSTEM!
If fireplace shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh
air.
If fireplace keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner
and control compartment clean. See installation and
operating instructions accompanying heater.
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, fireplace may not be working properly.
Get fresh air at
once! Have fireplace 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 fireplace 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 fireplace. 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.
DANGER
The installer of this product is responsible for the verifying the
correct position of the air shutter and adjusting it if required.
If not adjusted to the proper opening, a fire, explosion, or
production of carbon monoxide may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life.
DANGER
The installer of this product is responsible for testing all
connections for gas leaks. A gas leak will create a situation
where a fire, explosion, or production of carbon monoxide may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
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 run properly.
This fireplace has an ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) which will
shut down the fireplace if adequate fresh air is not available.
See troubleshooting section in the instructions.
WARNING
Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid any
drafts that alter burner flame patterns.
WARNING
DO NOT operate this fireplace unless all components including
logs, burners, and controls are in good working condition.
Never operate this fireplace if any log or twig is broken, or
out of their intended position. Refer to the Log set placement
instructions for correct log and twig positioning.
Replacement components are available through your local
dealer as indicated in the How to Order Repair Parts section of
the fireplace manual.
WARNING
Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the burner(s) clean
may result in sooting and property damage.
