erty damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
IMPORTANT
Before starting your firebox instal-
lation, read these installation
instructions carefully to be sure you
understand them completely and
in entirety. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause a heater
malfunction resulting in serious
injury and/or property damage.

ing the fireplace.
WARNING
These built-in vent-free fireboxes
have only been tested and approved
for use with ANSI Z21.11.2 Vent-
free gas logs.
WARNING
Any change to this Vent-Free room
heater can be dangerous. Improper
installation or use of this heater can
cause serious injury or death from
fire, burns, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
Do not attempt to burn solid wood
fuels, other gas log sets or any
other combustible materials in this
vent-free firebox.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early
signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
are similar to the flu with head-
aches, dizziness and/or nausea. If
you have these signs, obtain fresh
air immediately. Have the Vent-Free
Gas Heater serviced as it may not
be operating correctly.
WARNINGS
• Due to high temperatures, the
firebox should be located out of
traffic and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Do not place clothing or other
flammable material on or near
the heater.
• Any safety screen or guard re-
moved for servicing the firebox
must be replaced and/or closed
prior to operating the heater.
• Installation and repair should
be done by a qualified service
person. The heater 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 carpet-
ing, bedding material, etc. It is
important that control compart-
ments, burners and circulating
air passageways of the heater
be kept clean.
• Allow the heater to cool before
servicing. Always shut off any
electricity or gas to the heater
while performing service work.
• Do not install the firebox in a
sleeping room or bathroom.
• The appliance and its individual
shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping
system while performing any
tests of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig.
• Children and adults should be
alerted to the hazard of high sur-
face temperature and should stay
away to avoid burns or clothing
ignition.
WARNING
• The heater must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual
shut-off valve during any pres-
sure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
• Keep heater area clear and free
from combustible materials,
gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
• Do not use this heater if any
part has been under water. Im-
mediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater
and to replace any part of the con-
trol system and any gas control
which has been under water.
• Ensure that the heater is clean
when operating. Excessive dust
accumulation on the burner and
logs will increase the amount of
carbon monoxide formation and
could lead to carbon monoxide
poisoning and death.
WARNING
Do not install in the vicinity where
gasoline or other flammable liq-
uids may be stored. The Vent-Free
firebox must be kept clear and free
from these combustible materials.
WARNING
Maintain minimum clearances.
WARNING
Do not allow fans to blow directly
into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts
that alter burner flame patterns.
