SAFETy INFORMATION
WARNING: This product contains and/or generates
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer or birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and
completely before trying to assemble, operate, or service
this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace can cause
serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosions,
electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead

This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (certified or licensed)
service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses
a coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center)
venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the
outer pipe and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner
pipe. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly
seated, connected, and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage (spillage)
can occur.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:
Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea.
If you have these signs, the fireplace may not have been installed
properly.
Get fresh air at once!
Have fireplace inspected and ser
-
viced by a qualified service person. Some people are more affected
by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influ
-
ence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making
agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps you detect
a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas
may be present even though no odor exists.
