WARNING

•Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

•Improper installation or use of the heater can cause serious injury or death from fire, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.

•Do not allow fans to blow directly into the fireplace. Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns.

•Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory, not approved for use with this heater where applicable.

1.Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

2.Children and adults should be alerted to the hazard of high surface temperature and should stay away to avoid burns or clothing ignition.

3.Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room with the appliance.

4.Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance.

5.Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing an appliance, must be replaced prior to operating the heater.

6.Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person.

7.To prevent malfunction and/or sooting, an unvented gas heater should be cleaned before use and at least annually by a professional service person. More frequent cleaning may be required due to ex- cessive lint from carpeting, bedding materials, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air passageways be kept clean.

8.For propane/LP insert, do not place propane/LP supply tank(s) inside any structure. Locate propane/LP supply tank(s) outdoors. To prevent performance problems, do not use propane/LP fuel tank of less than 100 lbs. capacity.

9.The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.l/NFPA54.

10.This unit complies with ANSI Z21.11 Unvented Heaters and also complies with ANSI Z21.60 Decorative Vented Appliances for Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces. State and local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented configuration. Check your state or local codes. For vented operation, see Vented Instructions in this manual.

11.Do not install the heaters in a bathroom or bedroom.

12.Correct installation of the ceramic fiber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning are neces- sary to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle on surfaces outside the fireplace. See log place- ment instructions for proper installation.

13.Avoid any drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into fireplace. Do not place a blower inside burn area of firebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner flame patterns. Sooting and improper burning will occur.

14.Caution: Candles, incense, oil lamps, etc. produce combustion by-products including soot. Vent-free appliances will not filter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics (scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free ap- pliance which can produce odors. It is recommended to minimize the use of candles, incense, etc. while the vent-free appliance is in operation.

15.This is an unvented gas-fired heater. It uses air (oxy- gen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided. Page 6

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the flu with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the insert may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air at once! Have the insert inspected and serviced 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 influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

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