NOTICE: The firebox canopy must not be modified or

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and 

completely before trying to assemble, operate or 

service this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace 

can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, 

explosion, electrical shock and carbon monoxide 

poisoning.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead 

to death!

 WARNING: Any change to this firebox or its controls 

can be dangerous.

 WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into 

the firebox. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame

burner flame patterns. Altered burner patterns can 

cause sooting.

 WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat ex-

changer insert or other accessory not approved for 

use with this firebox.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be

ning firebox. Keep children and adults away from hot 

surfaces to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Firebox

Carefully supervise young children when they are in 

the room with firebox.

Keep the fireplace area clear and free from combus-

tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors 

and liquids.

You must operate this fireplace with the provided 

fireplace screen and hood in place. Make sure these 

parts are in place and screens are closed before run-

ning installed gas log heater. Replace hood with IHP

only. This hood has been designed to keep the opera-

tion of your fireplace safe and efficient.
