IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Congratulations!
PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING APPLIANCE.
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of an Ashley stove.
IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings carefully before starting installation. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in a possible fi re hazard and will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE TRYING TO
ASSEMBLE, OPERATE, OR SERVICE APPLIANCE. IMPROPER USE OF THESE LOGS CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM BURNS, FIRE, EXPLOSION AND CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING.
IMPORTANT: VENT-FREE HEATERS ADD MOISTURE TO AIR. ALTHOUGH THIS IS BENEFICIAL,
INSTALLING HEATER IN ROOMS WITHOUT ADEQUATE VENTILATION MAY CAUSE MILDEW TO
FORM FROM TOO MUCH MOISTURE.
WARNING
“ANY CHANGE TO THIS HEATER OR ITS CONTROLS CAN BE DANGEROUS.”
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 fi re, burns, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Do not allow fans to blow directly into the stove. Avoid any drafts that alter burner fl ame 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 traffi c 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 fl ammable 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 qualifi ed 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 excessive lint
from carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways be kept clean.
8. CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are similar to the fl u with headaches,
dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, obtain fresh air immediately. Have the heater serviced as it
may not be operating properly.
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 the latest edition of ANSI Z21.11.2, Unvented Heaters.
11. Do not install heater in a bathroom or bedroom unless approved for bedroom use.
12. Correct installation of the ceramic fi ber logs, proper location of the heater, and annual cleaning are necessary
to avoid potential problems with sooting. Sooting, resulting from improper installation or operation, can settle
on surfaces outside the fi replace. See log placement instructions for proper installation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
13. Avoid any drafts that alter burner fl ame patterns. Do not allow fans to blow directly into fi replace. Do not place
a blower inside burn area of fi rebox. Ceiling fans may create drafts that alter burner fl ame 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 fi lter or clean soot produced by these types of products. In addition, the smoke and/or aromatics
(scents) may be reburnt in the vent-free appliance 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-fi red heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the room in which it is installed. Provisions for
adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided.
16. This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is
provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the International Fuel
Gas Code or applicable local codes.
17. Keep room area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
18. Unvented gas heaters are a supplemental zone heater. They are not intended to be a primary heating
appliance.
19. Unvented gas heaters emit moisture into the living area. In most homes of average construction, this does not
pose a problem. In houses of extremely tight construction, addition mechanical ventilation is recommended.
20. During manufacturing, fabricating and shipping, various components of this appliance are treated with certain
oils, fi lms or bonding agents. These chemicals are not harmful but may produce annoying smoke and smells
as they are burned off during the initial operation of the appliance; possibly causing headaches or eye or
lung irritation. This is a normal and temporary occurrence. The initial break-in operation should last two to three
hours with the burner at the highest setting. Provide maximum ventilation by opening windows or doors to
allow odors to dissipate. Any odors remaining after this initial break-in period will be slight and will disappear
with continued use.
21. Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are for elevations up to 2,000 feet. For elevations above 2,000
feet, input ratings should be reduced 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Refer to the National
Fuel Gas Code.
22. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
23. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
24. Do not use this room heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed 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.
25. Never burn solid fuels in an unvented room heater, fi replace or stove.
26. Do not set kettles or humidifying devices on top of stove.
27. The stove door/screen must be closed when the appliance is operating. The screen shall have openings for
induction of combustion air.

IGNITION CONTROLS
Piezo ignitor allows ignition of the pilot without the use of matches.
Millivolt control has four (4) positions:
OFF - All gas to the burner is shut off at the valve.
IGN - Valve position to light/maintain a standing pilot.
ON - Valve position to turn burners ON/OFF.
LOW/HI - Variable position to control fl ame height (heat output). Both front and rear burners
are in operation to provide realistic glow and yellow fl ame.
PILOT /ODS
The gas log heater is fi tted with a specially designed safety pilot (ODS assembly) light which senses the amount
of oxygen available in the room and shuts the gas log heater off if the oxygen level begins to drop below a
satisfactory level. The pilot can only be relit when adequate fresh air is available.
