Important Safety Information

•An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than 10,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom.

•An unvented room heater having an input rating of more than 6,000 Btu per hour shall not be installed in a 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.

•Correct installation of ceramic ﬁber logs, proper location of the heater and annual cleaning are necessary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the ﬁreplace.

•Avoid any draft s that could alter burner ﬂame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into the ﬁreplace. Do not place a blower inside of ﬁrebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner ﬂame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur as a result of drafts.

•The installation must conform with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) and to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70 (latest edition).

•NOTE: Installation and repair should be done by a qualiﬁed service person. The appliance should be inspected before 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 appliance must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. Provide 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.

•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.

•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 heater.

WARNING

When 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.
