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.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
CAREFULLY
It is not unusual for gas fireplaces to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated during burn off — open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. Place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

FIREPLACE Framing |
Designer Series Gas Fireplaces |
It is best to build firebox framing after the appliance is set in place. Refer to the dimensions for your fireplace on Page 7. The framing headers may rest on the top of the firebox standoffs.
The firebox may be installed directly on a combustible floor or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. Do not place firebox on carpeting, vinyl, or other soft floor coverings. It may, however, be placed on a flat wood, plywood, particle board, or other hard surfaces. Be sure firebox rests on a solid continuous floor or platform with appropriate framing for support. No cold air should enter room from under the firebox.

Finishing Material
NOTE: Any remote wiring (i.e. remote control, wall switch, and optional fan) must be done prior to final finishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
Only noncombustible materials (i.e. brick, tile, slate, steel, or other materials with a UL fire rating of Zero) may be used to cover the black-painted face of the appliance. A 300°F minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround are sealed, a 300°F minimum sealant material (General Electric RTV103 or equivalent) must be used. Combustibles may come to the top and side edges but not overlay the face.

fireplace location
For Safe Installation and Operation Please Note The Following:
1.This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should be located out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and draperies.
2.Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the high surface temperatures of this fireplace and should stay away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
3.Caution, due to high glass surface temperature children should be carefully supervised when they are in the same room as the fireplace.
4.Under no circumstances should this fireplace be modified. Parts removed for servicing should be replaced prior to operating the fireplace again.
5.Installation and any repairs to this fireplace should be carried out by a qualified service person. A professional service person should be contacted to inspect this fireplace annually. Make it a practice to have all of your gas fireplaces checked annually. More frequent cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
6.Control compartments, burners and air passages in this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust and lint. Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light are turned off before you attempt to clean this fireplace.
7.The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should be checked at least once a year and if needed your venting system should be cleaned.
8.Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapor and liquids. This fireplace should not be used as a drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung on or around the fireplace.
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, the fireplace 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 combustion air to operate properly.
13.This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.
14.When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended that the gas control valve be left in the “OFF” position.
This appliance has been approved for after-market mobile home installations.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ 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 Monessen 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 Monessen fireplace for a 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.

WARNING
Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
NOTICE
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.
WARNING
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3" at the top and 1" at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall. A 1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
