or bathroom unless installed as a vented ap-
pliance (see

sory for Vented Operation,
page 11).
6. Before installing in a solid fuel burning fire-
place, the chimney flue and firebox must be
cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes, and loose
paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creo-
sote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chim-
ney flue may create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage.

erating heater.
7. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127
factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free
room heater is installed.

heater with glass doors closed. If you operate
heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside
fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure
there are no obstructions across openings of
fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smokeless.
If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater
and call a qualified service person.
Note:
Dur-
ing initial operation, slight smoking may oc-
cur due to log curing and heater burning manu-
facturing residues.
10. To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instruc-
tions in
Cleaning and Maintenance,
page 23.
11. Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet
cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If
heated, the vapors from these products may
create a white powder residue within burner
box or on adjacent walls or furniture.
12. This heater needs fresh, outside air ventila-
tion to run properly. This heater has an Oxy-
gen Depletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff
system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not
enough fresh air is available. See
Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation,
page 5. If heater keeps
shutting off, see
Troubleshooting
, page 24.

• where flammable liquids or vapors are used
or stored
• under dusty conditions

to or under water. Immediately call a quali-
fied 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.

not operate heater if a log is chipped (dime-
sized or larger).
