9.Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, coal, paper or cardboard, etc.) be used in this fireplace.

10.The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed in any way.

11.When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl tile, or any combustible material other than wood, it must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.

12.This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and combus- tion air to operate properly.

13.This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel-burning fireplace.

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket, per- manently located, manufactured home, or mobile home where not prohibited by local codes.

This appliance is only for use with type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the fireplace ON.

It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

It is not unusual for your gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood- burning or oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth de- fects and other reproductive harm.
