Please leave these instructions with the owner.
OWNER:
Please retain these instructions for future reference.
IMPORTANT:
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE INSTALLING.
NOTES
•
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of traffic and away from furniture and
draperies.
•
Installation and repair should be done by an
experienced and qualified service person or gas
appliance installer.
•
The appliance must be inspected before use and at
least annually by a professional service person. More
frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, dust and pet hair, etc.
It is important that the control compartment, burners
and circulating air passageways of the appliance be
kept clean. Refer to instructions on Page 13.
•
DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on
or near the appliance.
•
This appliance must only be used with pressures at the inlet
as shown in Table 1, page 10. Failure to check and
document these pressures may void the warranty.
•
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the NATIONAL FUEL GAS
CODE, ANSI Z223, latest edition. If you cannot reference
these codes, DO NOT attempt to install this unit.
•
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an
appliance must be replaced prior to operating the
heater.
•
The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kpa).
•
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its equipment shut-off valve during any
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG.
•
DO NOT
use this heater in recreational vehicles, bedrooms
or bathrooms.
•
If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a
minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use of a 100
pound cylinder is not recommended. Other household gas
appliances may require the tank size to be larger. Do not
operate the vent-free heater if the fuel level in the propane
tank is below 1/4 full.
•
DO NOT
use this heater if any part of it has been
submerged under water. Immediately call a qualified
technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been
under water.
•
Any outside air ducts in the fireplace shall be permanently
closed at the time of appliance installation.
•
Check local, state or city codes to determine if unvented
heaters are permitted. If unvented heaters are not
permitted, the fireplace chimney damper must be fixed
at a minimum free (vent) opening area of 15 sq. ins.
This must be accomplished by a clamp or screw on the
chimney damper to stop at the minimum vent area. The
fireplace must also have a minimum free (vent) opening
of 15 sq. ins., (see figure 1).
•
This appliance may be installed in an after-market*
manufactured "mobile" home where not prohibited by state
or local codes.
•
*After-market:
Completion of sale, not for purpose of re-
sale from the manufacturer.
•
OUTSIDE AIR DAMPER OR ASH DUMP (IF PRESENT)
MUST BE CLOSED AND SEALED.
•
Young children should be carefully supervised when
they are in the same room as the appliance.
•
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more
than 10,000 btu per hour shall not be installed in a
bedroom or a bathroom.
FOR INSTALLATION OF HIGH ALTITUDE
When installing this fireplace at an elevation above 2,000 feet
(in the United States), it may be necessary to decrease the
input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller
size. Input should be reduced four percent (4%) for each 1,000
feet above sea level, unless the heating value of the gas has
been reduced, in which case this general rule will not apply. to
identify the proper orifice size, check with the local gas utility.
Consult your local gas utility for assistance in determining the
proper orifice for your location.
