PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

6.Before installing in a solid fuel burning fireplace, the chimney flue and firebox must be cleaned of soot, creosote, ashes and loose paint by a qualified chimney cleaner. Creosote will ig- nite if highly heated. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If dam- aged, repair flue before operating heater.

7.Do not burn solid-fuel in a masonry or UL127 factory-built fireplace in which a vent-free room heater is installed.

8.If fireplace has glass doors, never operate this heater with glass doors closed. If you operate heater with doors closed, heat buildup inside fireplace will cause glass to burst. Make sure there are no obstructions across openings of fireplace.

9.This log heater is designed to be smokeless. If logs ever appear to smoke, turn off heater and call a qualified service person. Note: During initial operation, slight smoking could occur due to log curing and heater burning manufacturing residues.

10.To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instructions in Clean- ing and Maintenance, page 18.

11.Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner, or similar products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these prod- ucts may create a white powder residue within burner box or on adjacent walls or furniture.

12.This heater needs fresh, outside air ventilation to run properly. This heater has an oxygen depletion sensing (ODS) pilot light safety system.
