This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 unvented Heaters and it
also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances
for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State or local codes may only
allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check
your state or local codes.
•
correct installation of logs, proper location of the heater and
annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential problems with
sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or opera-
tion, can settle on surfaces outside the fireplace.
•
Avoid any drafts that could alter burner flame patterns. Do not
allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not place a
blower inside burn box area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create
drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper
burning will occur as a result of drafts.

•
Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of
the solid-fuel burning fireplace, including frequency of such
examination and cleaning, by a qualified agency.

ment, 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 ad-
equate combustion and ventilation air.
•
The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be ob
-
structed.
•
Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance for
servicing and proper operation. NeVer obstruct the front open-
ing of the appliance.
•
An unvented room heater intended for installation in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace shall comply with the following instructions.
•
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.
•
Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or uL 127 factory-
built fireplace in which an unvented room heater is installed.
•
Any glass doors shall be fully opened when the appliance is in
operation.
•
Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be
permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
•
wArNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of the
burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property damage.

the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote,
ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
IMPOrTANT SAFeTY INFOrMATION
wArNING
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, International
Fuel Gas code 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.
