IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
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.
•
Avoid the use of scented air fresheners (plug in type air
fresheners, etc. ) while the log set is in operation. Air fresheners
produce a residue in the air similar to candles and may produce
a soot like substance.
•
Avoid the use of scented or decorative candles while the log
set is in operation. Candles produce a residue in the air that
creates a soot like substance. Burning candles while the log
set is operating magnifies the problem. It should be noted that
candles, in general, produce soot. The amount of time burned
and the quantity of candles burned will determine the amount
of soot produced and deposited.
•
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 room heater if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
room heater and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
•
You must operate heater with fireplace screen in place.
•
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 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. 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
run properly. This fireplace has an ODS (oxygen depletion
sensor) which will shut down the heater if adequate fresh air is
not available. See troubleshooting section in the instructions.
•
WARNING: DO NOT operate this appliance unless all
components including logs, burners, and controls are in good
working condition. Never operate this appliance 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 appliance manual.
•
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
•
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.
WARNING
When used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless, poison
-
ous 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
applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a
PILOT LIGHT SAFETY SYS-
TEM
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.
