Safety Information

19. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping,
various components of this appliance are treated
with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These
chemicals are not harmful but may produce
annoying smoke and smells as they are burned
off during the initial operation of the appliance,
possibly causing headaches, or eye or lung
irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
The initial break-in operation should last two to
three hours with the burner at the highest setting.
Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows
or doors to allow odors to dissipate. Any odors
remaining after this initial break-in period will be
slight and will disappear with continual use.
20. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations
above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be reduced
4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to
the National Fuel Gas Code.
21. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
systems during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa).
22. The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its equipment
shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. Do not use this room heater if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the room heater and to
replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
24. Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where an
unvented room heater is installed.
25. Always have a fireplace screen n place when
the appliance is in operation, and unless other
provisions for combustion air are provided, the
screen shall have an opening(s) for induction of
combustion air.
26. Do not fill spaces around the firebox with
insulation or other materials. These spaces must
be maintained to prevent the firebox from coming
in contact with combustible materials.
