WARNINGS

This fireplace is a vented product. This
fireplace will not produce any gas leakage
into your home if properly installed. This
fireplace must be properly installed by a
qualified service person. The glass door
must be properly seated and sealed. If this
unit is not properly installed by a qualified
service person with glass door properly
seated and sealed, gas leakage can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs
of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If
you have these signs, the fireplace may not
have been installed properly. Get fresh air
at once! Have fireplace inspected and ser-
viced by a qualified service person. Some
people are more affected by carbon monox-
ide than others. These include pregnant
women, people with heart or lung disease or
anemia, those under the influence of alcohol,
and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both
odorless. An odor-making agent is added to
each of these gases. The odor helps you
detect a gas leak. However, the odor added
to these gases can fade. Gas may be present
even though no odor exists.
Make certain you read and understand all
warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It
is your guide to safe and proper operation of
