SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: This product contains and/or generates chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, operate or service this fireplace. Improper use of this fireplace can cause serious injury or death from burns, fire, explosions, electrical shock and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

This fireplace must be installed by a qualified (certified or licensed) service person. It has a sealed gas combustion chamber that uses a coaxial pipe (pipe within a pipe and having the same center) venting system. It brings in fresh air for combustion through the outer pipe and combustion gases are exhausted through the inner pipe. If the glass door assembly and venting pipe are not properly seated, connected and sealed, carbon monoxide leakage (spillage) can occur.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness or nausea. If you have these signs, the fireplace may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at once! Have fireplace inspected and ser- viced by a qualified service person. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influ- ence of alcohol and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP and Natural Gas: Propane/LP and natural gases are odorless. An odor-making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.
