WARNING
• If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this heater with glass doors
closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside
fireplace will cause glass to burst. Also if fireplace opening has vents at the
bottom, you must open the vents before operating heater.
• You must operate this heater with a fireplace screen in place. Make sure
fireplace screen is closed before running heater.
NOTICE
During initial operation of new heater, burning logs will give off a paper-
burning smell. Orange flame will also be present. Open damper or window
to vent smell. This will only last a few hours.
Note:
Homeowners generally prefer to operate their heater with the chimney damper
closed. This will put all the heat into the room. However there may be times you will
desire the full flames of the Hi heat setting but will find the heat output excessive. You
can open the chimney damper (if you have one) fully or partially to release some of the
heat. WARNING: Damper handle will be hot if heater has been running.
