INTRODUCTION
These vented gas fireplace heaters are sealed combustion, air-circulating gas fireplaces designed for residential and
commercial applications.
Millivolt fireplaces have a millivolt gas control valve with piezo ignition system. If a blower will be installed, electrical
power must be provided at the time of fireplace installation.
Electronic fireplaces are designed with an electronic intermittent pilot ignition system. External electrical power is
required to operate these units. In the event of a power outage, four (4) AA batteries (in battery holder) provide
backup power for fireplace operation (excluding the optional blower).
NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The fireplace 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 material, etcetera. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the fireplace be kept clean.
Remarqué : L’installation et la réparation devrait être confiées à un technicien qualifié. L’appareil devrait faire
l’objet d’une inspection par un technicien professionnel avant d’être utilisé et au moins une fois l’an par la suite.
Des nettoyages plus fréquents peuvent être nécessaires si les tapis, la literie, et cetera produisent une quantité
importante de pous-sière. Il est essentiel que les compartiments abritant les commandes, les brûleurs et les
conduits de circulation d’air de l’appareil soient tenus propres.
NOTE: Diagrams and illustrations are not necessarily shown to scale.
