20012253

This gas appliance should be installed by a qualified 
installer, preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certified, 
in accordance with local building codes and with 
current CSA-B149.1 Installation codes for Gas Burning 
Appliances and Equipment. For USA Installations follow 
local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas Code. 
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all gas fitting 
and installation of this heater shall only be done by a 
licensed gas fitter or licensed plumber.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE 
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1.  This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should 

be located out of high traffic areas and away from 
furniture and draperies.

2.   Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards 

of high surface temperatures of this fireplace and 
should stay away to avoid burns or ignition of cloth-
ing.

3.  

CAUTION: Due to high glass surface temperature 
children should be carefully supervised when in 
the same room as fireplace.

4.   Under no circumstances should this fireplace be 

modified. Parts removed for servicing should be 
replaced prior to operating this fireplace again.

5.  Installation and any repairs to this fireplace must be 

performed by a qualified installer, service agency or 
gas supplier. A professional service person should be 
contacted to inspect this fireplace annually. Make it 
a practice to have all of your gas fireplaces checked 
annually. More frequent cleaning may be required 
due to excess lint and dust from carpeting, bedding 
material, etc.

6.  Control compartments, burners and air passages in 

this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust 
and lint. Make sure the gas valve and pilot light are 
turned off before you attempt to clean this fireplace.

7.  The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should 

be checked at least once a year and if needed your 
venting system should be cleaned.

8.  Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combus-

tible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapor 
and liquids. This fireplace should not be used as a 
drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas stock-
ings or decorations be hung on or around the fire-
place.

9.  Under no circumstances should any solid fuels 

(wood, coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this 
fireplace.

10.  The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not 

be obstructed in any way.

11.  When fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl 

tile or any combustible material other than wood, the 
fireplace must be installed on a metal or wood panel 
extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the 
fireplace ON.
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off 
some expansion and/or contraction noises during the 
start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found 
with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some 
odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of 
the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing 
process. 

Please  ensure  that  your  room  is  well  ventilated  - 
open all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your  fireplace for at 
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional 
fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the 
“OFF” position during this time.

Installation & Operating Instructions

Proposition 65 Warning:

 Fuels used in gas, wood-

burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of 
combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to 
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects 
and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6

WARNING: Check with your electronics manufacturer 
before installing a television or other electronic de-
vice above this fireplace.
