NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your pri- mary heating system. Do not in- stall 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 circu- late the heat throughout the house. In the event of a power outage, you can use this heater as your primary heat source.

WARNING: 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 quali- fied chimney cleaner. Creosote will ignite if highly heated. A dirty chimney may create and distrib- ute soot within the house. Inspect chimney flue for damage. If dam- aged, operate heater with flue damper closed.
