WARNING
W
hen used without adequate combustion and ventilation air,
heater may give off CARBON MONOXIDE, an odorless,
poisonous gas.
Do not install heater until all necessary provisions are made
for combustion and ventilation air. Consult the written
instructions provided with the heater for information
concerning combustion and ventilation air. In the absence
of instructions, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This heater is equipped with a PILOT LIGHT SAFETY
SYSTEM designed to turn off the heater if not enough fresh
air is available.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH PILOT LIGHT SAFETY
SYSTEM!
If heater shuts off, do not relight until you provide fresh air.
If heater keeps shutting off, have it serviced. Keep burner
and control compartment clean.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO
DEATH.
Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the
flu, with headache, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have
these signs, heater may not be working properly. Get fresh
air at once! Have heater serviced.
Some people – pregnant women, persons with heart or
lung disease, anemia, those under the influence of alcohol,
those at high altitudes – are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others.
The pilot light safety system senses the depletion of oxygen
at its location. If this heater is installed in a structure
having a high vertical dimension, the possibility exists that
the oxygen supply at the higher levels will be less than
that at the heater. In this type of application, a fan to
circulate the structure air will minimize this effect. The
use of this fan will also improve the comfort level in the
structure. When a fan is used to circulate air, it should be
located so that the air flow is not directed at the burner.
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more
than 6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bath-
room
• An unvented room heater having an input rating of more
than 10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bed-
room or bathroom.
• Never burn solid fuels in a fireplace where a gas log set is
installed.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or
near the appliance.
• Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high
surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns
or clothing ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised when they
are in the same room as the appliance.
• This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11.2 Unvented Heaters
and it also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented
Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State or local
codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented
configuration. Check your state or local codes.
• Correct installation of logs, proper location of the heater
and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential prob-
lems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper instal-
lation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the fire-
place.
• Avoid any drafts that could alter burner flame patterns. Do
not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Do not
place a blower inside burn box area of firebox. Ceiling fans
may create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting
and improper burning will occur as a result of drafts.
• WARNING: Do not allow fans to blow directly into the
fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.
• WARNING: Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger
insert or other accessory not approved for use with this
heater.
• Periodic examination and cleaning of the venting system of
the solid-fuel burning fireplace, including frequency of such
examination and cleaning, by a qualified agency.
• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
• NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a quali-
fied service person. The appliance should be inspected be-
fore use and at least annually by a qualified service person.
More frequent cleaning may be required due to excessive
lint from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative
that the control compartment, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appli-
ance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Pro-
vide adequate combustion and ventilation air.
• The flow of combustion and ventilation air MUST NOT be
obstructed.
• Provide adequate clearances around air openings into the
combustion chamber and adequate accessibility clearance
for servicing and proper operation. NEVER obstruct the
front opening of the appliance.
• An unvented room heater intended for installation in a
solid-fuel burning fireplace shall comply with the following
instructions.
• A fireplace screen must be in place when the appliance is
operating and, unless other provisions for combustion air
are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for
introduction of combustion air.
• Solid-fuels shall not be burned in a masonry or
UL 127
factory-built fireplace in which an unvented room heater is
installed.
• Any glass doors shall be fully opened when the appliance is
in operation.
• Any outside air ducts and/or ash dumps in the fireplace shall
be permanently closed at time of appliance installation.
• WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air opening(s) of
the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property
damage.
• WARNING: Before installing in a solid-fuel burning
fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of
soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney
cleaner.
