5.This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom unless installed as a vented appli- ance (Variable Manually-Controlled Models Only) (see Installing Damper Clamp Acces- sory for Vented Operation, page 11).

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 ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney flue may create and distribute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If damaged, repair flue and firebox 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 fire- place 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 manufac- turing residues.

10.To prevent the creation of soot, follow the instruc- tions in Cleaning and Maintenance, page 23.

11.Before using furniture polish, wax, carpet cleaner or similar products, turn heater off. If heated, the vapors from these products 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 De- pletion Sensing (ODS) safety shutoff system. The ODS shuts down the heater if not enough fresh air is available. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, page 5. If heater keeps shutting off, see Troubleshooting, page 25.

13.Do not run heater

•where flammable liquids or vapors are used or stored

•under dusty conditions

14.Do not use this heater to cook food or burn paper or other objects.

15.Do not use heater if any part has been exposed to or under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the room heater and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

16.Do not operate heater if any log is broken. Do not operate heater if a log is chipped (dime- sized or larger).

17.Turn heater off and let cool before servicing. Only a qualified service person should service and repair heater.

18.Operating heater above elevations of 4,500 feet could cause pilot outage.

19.Provide adequate clearances around air openings.
