SAFETY 

Continued

IMPORTANT:  Read  this  owner’s 
manual  carefully  and  completely 
before trying to assemble, operate or 
service this fi replace. Improper use 
of this fi replace can cause serious 
injury or death from burns, fi re, ex-
plosion, electrical shock and carbon 
monoxide poisoning.

 WARNING: Any change to this 

heater  or  its  controls  can  be  dan-
gerous.

 WARNING: Do not use a blower 

insert, heat exchanger insert or other 
accessory not approved for use with 
this heater. 

Due  to  high  temperatures,  the  ap-
pliance  should  be  located  out  of 
traffi c and away from furniture and 
draperies.

Do not place clothing or other fl am-
mable material on or near the appli-
ance.  Never  place  any  objects  on 
the heater.

Fireplace front and screen become 
very  hot  when  running  fi replace. 
Children  and  adults  should  be 
alerted to the hazard of high surface 
temperature and should stay away 
to avoid burns or clothing ignition. 
Fireplace will remain hot for a time 
after  shutdown.  Allow  surfaces  to 
cool before touching.

Young children should be carefully 
supervised when they are in the same 
room with the appliance. When us-
ing the hand-held remote accessory, 
keep selector switch in the OFF posi-
tion to prevent children from turning 
on burners with remote.

You must operate this heater with the 
fi replace screen and hood in place 
before running heater. The fi replace 
screen shall have openings for intro-
duction of combustion air.

Keep  the  appliance  area  clear  and 
free  from  combustible  materials, 
gasoline and other fl ammable vapors 
and liquids.

  WARNING:  Do  not  allow  fans 

to  blow  directly  into  the  fi replace. 
Avoid  any  drafts  that  alter  burner 
fl ame  patterns.  Ceiling  fans  can 
create drafts that alter burner fl ame 
patterns. Altered burner patterns can 
cause sooting.

Installation  and  repair  should  be 
done by a qualifi ed service person. 
The 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 material, etc. It is imperative 
that control compartments, burners, 
and circulating air passageways of 
the appliance be kept clean.

This appliance must be mounted on 
a fully supported base extending the 
full width and depth of the unit. The 
fi replace may be located on or near 
conventional construction materials. 
However, if installed on combustible 
materials,  such  as  carpeting,  vinyl 
tile  or  other  combustible  material 
other than wood fl ooring, the appli-
ance shall be installed on a metal or 
wood panel extending the full width 
and depth of the appliance.
