......CAUTION.....
FOR YOUR SAFETY do not install or operate your X-62 without first reading and understanding this manual. Any
deviation in the installation or operation of the appliance from the instructions provided in this manual will void the
Warranty and may prove hazardous!
To reduce the hazards associated with high temperatures, the fireplace in which the X-62 is to be installed should
be located out of the flow of traffic and away from furniture and draperies. Children and adults should be alerted to
the possibility of burns if they come into contact with the appliance. Young children should be supervised carefully
when they are in the same room as the X-62.
Clothing, drapery, or other flammable material should not be placed on or near the X-62. Do not store or use
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
The X-62 is designed for installation in a vented, non-combustible fireplace that has a working flue. It is not
approved for bathrooms, or for any room where sleeping accommodations are provided. Solid fuels must not be
burned in any fireplace in which a decorative fireplace is installed. Any fireplace in which an insert is to be
installed MUST be vented to the outside in accordance with the latest edition of the Natural Fuel Gas Code. Do
not connect this appliance to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel-burning appliance.
The X-62 is a decorative gas appliance. It has been designed as a source of supplemental heat only. It should
not take the place of, or be used as, a whole-house heating system. Such use may void the warranty.
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service technician only. The X-62 should be inspected and
cleaned at least annually by a qualified service technician. More frequent cleaning may be required due to
excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and air
passageways be kept clean. Any panel, screen, or glass removed for servicing the X-62 MUST be replaced prior
to operating the appliance. Installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform to the
National Fuel Gas Code , ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 , or the CSA B149.1 , Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code .
DO NOT use the X-62 if any part of it has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
