FULLY BEFORE OPERATING.
•
DO NOT
use this heater if any part of it has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified technician to inspect the ap-
pliance and replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
•
This appliance may be installed in an after-market* manu-
factured “mobile” home where not prohibited by state or local
codes.
*After-market: Completion of sale, not for purpose of re-sale from the
manufacturer.
•
Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or
clothing ignition.
•
Although your gas logs are very realistic in appearance,
it is not a real wood-burning fireplace and must not be
used for burning solid fuel.
•
To avoid irreparable damage to the appliance or personal
injury; matches, paper, garbage or any other material must not
be placed or thrown on top of the logs or into the flames.
•
To avoid personal injury, do not touch hot surfaces when
the appliance is operating.
•
Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is
being operated near children.
•
Do not use to cook food.
•
This appliance is intended to be used only for supplemen-
tal heat.
Do not use it routinely as a primary heat source.
Continuous operation could produce excessive humidity
depending on construction characteristics and outdoor tempera-
tures (below 20°F). Over time, this could cause condensation
to form and damage wall structures and exterior paint.
•
An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than
10,000 btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or bath-
room.
NOTES
•
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be lo-
cated out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
•
Installation and repair must be done by a qualified service
person or gas appliance installer.
•
A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is
operating. On models with movable screens, the screens must
be closed when the fireplace is operating.
•
The appliance must be inspected before use and at least
annually by a professional service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from carpeting,
bedding material, dust and pet hair, etc. It is important that the
control compartment, burners and circulating air passageways
of the appliance be kept clean.
•
DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on or
near the appliance.
•
This appliance must only be used with pressures at the inlet
as shown in Table 1, Page 11 in installation instructions.
•
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE,
ANSI Z223/NFPA 54, latest edition.
•
Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appli-
ance must be replaced prior to operating the heater.
•
The appliance and its appliance main gas shut-off valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
1/2 psig (3.5 kpa).
•
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its equipment shut-off valve during any test-
ing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kpa).
•
DO NOT
use this heater in recreational vehicles, bedrooms
or bathrooms.
•
If this is the ONLY gas appliance, we recommend a
minimum 200 pound cylinder with a fill gauge. Use of a 100
pound cylinder is not recommended. Other household gas
appliances may require the tank size to be larger. Do not
operate the vent-free heater if the fuel level in the propane
tank is below 1/4 full.
•
Use only with two-stage regulator.
WARNING: During manufacturing, fabricating and ship-
ping, various components of this appliance are treated
with certain oils, films or bonding agents. These chemi-
cals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke
and smells as they are burned off during the initial
operation of the appliance, possibly causing headaches
and eye/lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary
occurrence.
WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger
insert or other accessory not approved for use with this
heater.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operat-
ed is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or
if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide
adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or
unusually tight construction unless provisions are pro-
vided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls can
be dangerous.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indi-
cated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible
for use with other gases.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket, per-
manently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where
not prohibited by local codes.

tronic devices above this fireplace unless approved
by the electronics manufacturer.
