COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL

Do not attach combustible material to the mantel of your fireplace. This is a fire hazard.

No greeting card, stockings or ornamentation of any type should be placed on or attached to the fireplace. This is a heating appliance. The flow of heat can ignite combustibles.

FIREPLACE PREPARATION

Turn off gas supply to fireplace or firebox.

Have the fireplace floor and chimney professionally cleaned to remove ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.

Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.

Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor or wall of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot outage or sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney flue damper.

Install and operate the appliance as directed in this manual.
