SAFETY

 Continued

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

changer insert or other accessory not approved for 

use with this heater.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be 

located out of traffic and away from furniture and 

draperies.

Do not place clothing or other flammable material on 

or near the appliance. Never place any objects on the 

heater.

You must operate appliance with the fireplace screen and 

hood in place before running heater. The fireplace screen 

shall have openings for introduction of combustion air.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard 

of high surface temperature and should stay away to 

avoid burns or clothing ignition. Heater will remain 

hot for a time after shutdown. Allow surface to cool 

before touching.

Keep the appliance area clear and free from combus-

tible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors 

and liquids.

Installation and repair should be done by a qualified 

service person. The appliance should be inspected 

before use and at least annually by a professional 

service person. More frequent cleaning may be re-

quired due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding 

material, etc. It is imperative that control compart-

ments, 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 fireplace may be located on or near conventional 

construction materials. However, if installed on com-

bustible materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile or other 

combustible material other than wood flooring, the 

appliance shall be installed on a metal or wood panel 

extending the full width and depth of the appliance.

Fireplaces become very hot when running fireplace. 

 WARNING: Young children should be carefully 

supervised when they are in the same room with the 

appliance. When using the hand-held remote acces-

sory, keep selector switch in the OFF position to prevent 

children from turning on burners with remote.

 WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into 

the fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame 

patterns. Ceiling fans can create drafts that alter 

burner flame patterns. Altered burner patterns can 

cause sooting.

 WARNING: Any change to this heater or its con-

trols can be dangerous.

 DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead 

to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:

 Early signs of carbon monoxide poison-

ing resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have 

these signs, the heater may not be working properly. 

Get fresh air at 

once!

 Have heater serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon 

monoxide 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.

Natural and Propane/LP Gas:

 Natural and propane/LP gases are 

odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps 

you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas 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 this heater.

Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a fireplace in which 

an unvented room heater is installed.

 WARNING: Do not place log scraps or volcanic 

stone on burner.
