Safety Precautions

FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR “ENVIRO” HEATER, PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

•All ENVIRO gas-fired appliances must be installed in accordance with their instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the building authority having jurisdiction to determine the need for a permit prior to commencing the installation.

•NOTE: Failure to follow these instructions could cause a malfunction of the fireplace, which could result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property damage.

•Failure to follow these instructions may also void your fire insurance and/or warranty.

GENERAL

•Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The appliance should be inspected before the first 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 the control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.

•Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.

Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures and should stay away to avoid burn or clothing ignition.

•Young children should be carefully supervised when in the same room as the appliance.

•Clothing or other flammable materials should not be placed on or near the appliance.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

•Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.

•This installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, to the current CAN/CGA- B149 installation code (Canada) or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.2 (USA)

•To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the stove to operate it.

•To prevent injury, if the pilot or pilot and burners have gone out on their own, open the glass door and wait 5 minutes to air out before attempting to re-light the stove.

•Always keep the area around these appliances clear of combustible material, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapours.

•These appliances should not be used as a drying rack for clothing or for hanging Christmas stockings/ decorations.

•Due to the paint curing on the stove, a faint odor and slight smoking will likely be noticed when the stove is first used. Open a window until the smoking stops.

Always connect this gas stove to a vent system and vent to the outside of the building envelope. Never vent to another room or inside the building. Make sure the specified vent pipe is used, properly sized and of adequate height to provide sufficient draft. Inspect the venting system annually for blockage and signs of deterioration.

WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with the diagrams in this booklet, or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this appliance, may result in property damage or personal injury.

WARNING: Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.

•Never use solid fuels such as wood, paper, cardboard, coal, or any flammable liquids, etc., in this appliance.

•Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and to replace any part of the control or gas control systems that have been under water.

•Do not abuse the glass by striking it or slamming the door shut.

•If the Sonnet unit is pulled out of its installation, and the vent-air intake system is disconnected for any reason, ensure that the vent-air intake pipes are reconnected and re-sealed in accordance to the instructions noted in INITIAL INSTALLATION - VENTING FIREPLACE INSERTS.
