inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000
BTU per hour (4.8m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined
space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating
of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
WARNING:
If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space, provide
adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1,
1992, Section 5.3.
This appliance is equipped with an ODS (oxygen depletion sensor) pilot light safety system that turns off the appliance if
there is not enough fresh air available. Additional ventilation is obtained by opening a door to another room or opening a
window.
Always ensure that there is proper ventilation from the area the system is operating in.
Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall be permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
This appliance must be used with glass doors in the OPEN position.
A fireplace screen with an opening for combustion air must be in place when the appliance is operating, unless other
provisions for combustion air are provided.
IMPORTANT:
During the manufacturing process, this appliance is treated with certain coloring agents. These agents are
not harmful, but may produce annoying smoke and smell as they are burned off. This is a temporary occurrence that
ceases after 10 hours of use. During the “burning off” period, provide ventilation by opening windows, door and the chim-
ney flue to allow odors to dissipate. Any remaining odors will burn off with continued use.
WARNING: This appliance cannot be converted to a gas other than the type for which it was made at the factory.
Operation of this appliance on gasses for which it is not equipped may be hazardous. See identification plate for
gas type designation.
UNPACKING
Unpack the appliance carefully and inspect for missing parts or damages that may have occurred during shipping. If any
part of the appliance is missing or damaged, please notify Sure Heat Manufacturing at (770) 422-8008. An incomplete
or damaged appliance may be hazardous. DO NOT INSTALL A DAMAGED OR INCOMPLETE APPLIANCE.
FIREPLACE PREPARATION
The fireplace needs to be properly prepared before installing this fireplace unit.
1. Turn off gas supply to the fireplace.
2. Clean chimney and fireplace floor of any combustible material to limit the smell from the system.
WARNING:
Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned for soot, cre-
osote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner.
UNIT PLACEMENT
Place the entire burner system in the center of the fireplace to allow proper air flow on all sides of the unit.
GAS PIPING AND GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
Check the type of gas that is supplied to your fireplace. Use only the gas type indicated on the heater’s rating plate. If the
gas listed on the plate is not your type of gas supply, DO NOT INSTALL THE SYSTEM. Contact your dealer for the proper
model.
