Installation and Clearances for Vent-Free Operation

INSTALLATION

NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supple- mental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you have a central heating system, you may run system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

WARNING: A qualified service person must in- stall heater. Follow all local codes.

NOTICE: State or local codes may only allow opera- tion of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes.

WARNING: Make sure the selector switch is in the OFF position before installing heater (Remote-Ready Models Only).

WARNING: Before installing in a solid fuel burn- ing fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue and firebox may create and distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If damaged, repair flue before operating heater.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Never install the heater

in a bedroom or bathroom unless installed as a vented appliance, see page 11 (Remote-Ready and Variable Manually-Controlled Models Only)

in a recreational vehicle

where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flam- mable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top, or sides of the heater

in high traffic areas

in windy or drafty areas

CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities (such as, but not limited to, tobacco smoke, aromatic candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may discolor walls or cause odors.

IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms without enough venti- lation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 5 through 7.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use the correct gas type (natural or propane/LP) for your unit. If your gas supply is not correct, do not install log set. Call dealer where you bought log set for proper type fireplace.
