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 to death!

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.
