CAUTION—HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it
becomes very hot when in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT
PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or
other item LESS THAN 36 inches (0.9 m) IN
FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN and PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the
hearth in front of the fi replace to temperatures
that, although approved safe, can be
quite uncomfortable to touch or step on—
particularly for children and pets. Children
and pets should always be supervised when
in the room where the appliance is located.
Remote control handset should be kept out of
reach of children. In the presence of children,
we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install
in front of the fi replace: a fi re screen or, to protect young toddlers, a “hearth gate”—see
Options on page 41.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and fi nishes, even though
installed at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks. The 1300IR
requires the installation of the cement board provided with the engine.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID PLACING heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above fi replaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
