5. This heater shall not be installed in a
bedroom or bathroom unless installed as
a vented appliance (see

Clamp Accessory for Vented Operation
,
page 11). This gas log set may not be
installed as a vented appliance in a bed-

6. Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or
UL127 factory-built fireplace in which a
vent-free room heater is installed.
7. 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.
Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty
chimney flue may create and distribute
soot within the house. Inspect chimney
flue and firebox for damage. If damaged,
repair flue before operating heater.
8. 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. Make sure there are no obstructions
across openings of fireplace.
9. This log heater is designed to be smoke-
less. If logs ever appear to smoke, turn
off heater and call a qualified service
person.
Note: During initial operation, slight smok-
ing could occur due to log curing and
heater burning manufacturing residues.
