Overview
WARNING
SAFETY WARNING! The H3 is a very effective radiant heater.
HOT WALL SURFACES! The wall directly above the fireplace is constructed of non-combustible
materials and, although safe, it may reach temperatures in excess of 200° F depending on
choice of trims. Do not touch. Finish the wall using materials suitable for these temperatures.
HEARTH/FLOOR SURFACES! The hearth/floor in front of the heater can get very hot. Locating
the unit raised above the hearth/floor and using the screen front will help reduce hearth
temperatures. Note that some materials, although safe can degrade due to heat—take this
into consideration when choosing materials.
Optional 4” Ø HeatShift
duct outlets (4). Refer to
